Scientific output in Chile was studied examining the publications indexed by the Institute for Scientific Information during 1985 and 1986. Meeting abstracts were not considered. The articles were classified in different areas and tabulated according to the institution from which they originated. As in previous years, more than 80% of the papers were published by universities. The most productive subjects in these institutions were biology (33.2%), medical sciences (23.4%), and chemistry (16.9%). Outside universities the following fields were the most productive: medical sciences, astronomy, social sciences, biology and physics. To compare the overall output of chilean universities, in addition to their scientific publications, the number of degrees granted at the undergraduate and graduate levels was also evaluated. The proportion of governmental funds that each university received was used to standardize the indicators. Significant differences were observed which revealed that the chilean higher educational system is very heterogeneous. The indicators presented herein objective the overall output of each of the 24 chilean institutions of higher education funded by the government and provide the necessary insight to compare their contribution, and to respond to their urgent needs.
对智利的科研产出进行了研究，考察了科学信息研究所收录的1985年和1986年的出版物。会议摘要未被纳入考量。文章按不同领域分类，并根据其来源机构制成表格。和往年一样，超过80%的论文由大学发表。这些机构中产出最多的学科是生物学（33.2%）、医学（23.4%）和化学（16.9%）。在大学以外，产出最多的领域是医学、天文学、社会科学、生物学和物理学。为了比较智利各大学的总体产出，除了其科学出版物外，还评估了本科和研究生阶段授予学位的数量。各大学获得的政府资金比例用于对指标进行标准化。观察到了显著差异，这表明智利高等教育系统非常多样化。本文给出的指标客观反映了由政府资助的24所智利高等教育机构各自的总体产出，并为比较它们的贡献以及满足其迫切需求提供了必要的见解。
