古巴 2000-2017 年糖尿病领域的科学研究成果：同行评议出版物、合作与影响。

MEDICC Rev. 2019 Jan;21(1):17-25. doi: 10.37757/MR2019.V21.N1.5.

INTRODUCTION The steadily increasing prevalence of diabetes globally has captured researchers' attention. Cuban production of scientific articles on diabetes has not been studied from a bibliometric perspective. OBJECTIVE Characterize the production and impact of research and review articles on diabetes by Cuban authors in journals listed in the Scopus bibliographic database, as well as related collaboration among Cuban institutions and between Cuban and non-Cuban institutions. METHODS A bibliometric analysis was conducted using 2000-2017 data from the Scopus database. The following search strategy was used: descriptor (diabetes), country (Cuba), publication source (journal), article type (original research, review article). Bibliographic indicators of production, visibility, impact and collaboration were examined. RESULTS Cuba contributed 3.2% of Latin American production and 0.1% of global production related to diabetes. Within Cuba's scientific production (610 articles, 538 original research and 72 review), 85.9% had a Cuban corresponding author (Cuban leadership). In articles with international collaboration (22.9%), however, most (67.9%) had non-Cuban corresponding authors. A total of 47% (287) were articles involving a single institution. Only 11.1% were published in top-ranked journals, and 14.4% were cited >10 times. Cubans were lead authors on 0.3% of the most frequently cited (top 10%) articles on diabetes in Scopus. A total of 38.4% of this production appeared in low-impact journals and 57.9% in Cuban journals. Articles published in English accounted for 30% of total and obtained higher impact in terms of citations than articles in Spanish. The strongest networks for scientific collaboration were those that connected Cuban and US researchers. CONCLUSIONS Cuban scientists conduct research on diabetes, but their work is not highly visible in the peer-reviewed literature, particularly in top-ranked journals. The problem is not simply one of publishing more, but of knowing how and where to publish. It is urgent that Cuban universities training health professionals at all levels include instruction on scientific writing.

简介全球糖尿病患病率稳步上升，引起了研究人员的关注。古巴在糖尿病领域的科学文章产出尚未从文献计量学的角度进行研究。目的描述在 Scopus 文献数据库中列出的期刊上，古巴作者发表的关于糖尿病的研究和综述文章的数量和影响，并分析古巴机构之间以及古巴与非古巴机构之间的相关合作。方法使用 Scopus 数据库 2000-2017 年的数据进行文献计量分析。采用以下检索策略：主题词（糖尿病）、国家（古巴）、文献来源（期刊）、文章类型（原始研究、综述文章）。考察了产量、可见度、影响力和合作的文献计量指标。结果古巴在拉丁美洲的糖尿病相关文献产出中占 3.2%，在全球文献产出中占 0.1%。在古巴的科学文献产出（610 篇文章，538 篇原始研究和 72 篇综述）中，85.9%的文章有古巴通讯作者（古巴领导）。然而，在有国际合作的文章中（22.9%），大多数（67.9%）的通讯作者来自非古巴。共有 47%（287 篇）是涉及单个机构的文章。只有 11.1%发表在顶级期刊上，14.4%被引用超过 10 次。在 Scopus 上被引频次最高（前 10%）的糖尿病文章中，古巴人是主要作者的比例仅为 0.3%。这部分产出中有 38.4%发表在低影响力的期刊上，57.9%发表在古巴期刊上。用英语发表的文章占总数的 30%，其引文影响力高于西班牙语文章。科学合作的最强网络是连接古巴和美国研究人员的网络。结论古巴科学家从事糖尿病研究，但他们的工作在同行评议文献中并不十分突出，尤其是在顶级期刊上。问题不仅仅是发表更多的文章，而是要知道如何以及在哪里发表。古巴各大学急需在各级培训卫生专业人员时，纳入科学写作教学。
