The purpose of this report is to examine the biological sciences in Chile and South America in bibliographic terms -the number of papers each nation published from 1981-1991 and the number of citations to them in the international research literature. The database consists of 34,600 biological science papers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela in the 1981-1991 Science Citation Index files of the Institute for Scientific Information. Twelve specialty areas were selected to represent the biological sciences of special interest to Chile: animal sciences, biochemistry/biophysics, environmental sciences, experimental biology/medicine, immunology, microbiology/cell biology, molecular biology/genetics, neurosciences, pharmacology, physiology, plant sciences, and reproductive sciences. Data are reported on the number of papers in these fields, combined, by authors based in Chile and other South American nations. In addition, time-series trends in the impact (average citations per paper) of Chilean research relative to South America as a whole, overall and in each specialty, are presented and discussed.
本报告旨在从文献计量学角度审视智利和南美洲的生物科学——1981年至1991年期间每个国家发表的论文数量以及国际研究文献中对这些论文的引用次数。该数据库由科学信息研究所1981年至1991年《科学引文索引》文件中来自阿根廷、巴西、智利和委内瑞拉的34,600篇生物科学论文组成。选取了十二个专业领域来代表智利特别感兴趣的生物科学领域：动物科学、生物化学/生物物理学、环境科学、实验生物学/医学、免疫学、微生物学/细胞生物学、分子生物学/遗传学、神经科学、药理学、生理学、植物科学和生殖科学。报告了智利和其他南美国家的作者在这些领域发表的论文总数。此外，还展示并讨论了智利研究相对于整个南美洲在总体以及每个专业领域的影响力（每篇论文的平均引用次数）的时间序列趋势。
