Bibliometric analysis of Chilean scientific production about oncology in the period 2010-2019
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to analyze Chilean scientific production about oncology indexed in Clarivate Web of Science from 2010 to 2019. A bibliometric analysis was performed which included retrospective retrieval of documents applying a search strategy based on field labels for category and country, as well as a date filter. A total 1 266 documents were identified, 590 of which were original articles. English was the most common language of publication. Articles were retrieved from 182 journals, among which the Journal of Clinical Oncology had the largest number of published articles, with 117. Chilean authors have published in collaboration with authors from another 101 countries, the largest number of them from the United States, with 474 publications. The most productive Chilean institution was the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, with 364 articles. Gastrointestinal cancer was the type most commonly addressed. It is concluded that Chilean scientific production about oncology has systematically increased in the period 2010-2019, and tends to considerably increase the number of original articles published, mainly in English, to foster international collaboration. Despite the great cooperation of Chilean researchers and institutions and the high productivity in the area, articles by Chilean researchers and institutions were not among the most citated, as a result of which the impact of Chilean science and publications continues to be low. It is therefore necessary to strengthen the work of Chilean researchers.
Key words: Cancer; bibliometric indicators; bibliometrics; Chile.
