Abstract

Background: today, the university hospital is not only a teaching and care center, but also a fundamental and irreplaceable nucleus of knowledge production in the health area. The final results of such research, both health and economic, ensure that the care process offered can be increasingly based on scientific evidence. Aim: to characterize the communication patterns and impact of scientific production in Cuban hospitals.Methods: a bibliometric study was conducted on the articles that presented authorship with affiliation to Cuban hospitals, published in journals indexed in Scopus in the period between 1996 and 2016. Co-occurrence matrices for the analysis of social networks between authors and terms were analyzed. Results: 6420 documents were identified, of which 95.90 % (6 157 documents) were citable, especially the original articles with 85.59 %. Of the publications, 65.58% were concentrated in 23 national journals, the remaining 34.42% were published in 136 foreign journals. The most productive institutions were identified, headed by the Clinical Surgical Hospital "Hermanos Ameijeiras" with 994 documents. A total of 38941 citations were accumulated, with an h-index of 80.Conclusions: Cuban hospital scientific production was mainly concentrated in local journals, sustained growth both in productivity indicators and in visibility, the latter mainly at the expense of articles in English.
