Panorama of Cuban student journals. 2005-2015. Part One: bibliometric analysis

Resumen

Introduction: The generation, dissemination and promotion of knowledge through research were considered essential functions of higher education. The student scientific publication is an essential aspect in the education of future health professionals. Cuba has two student scientific journals, which publish in the health sciences area. Objective: To describe the scientific production of Cuban student scientific journals. Material and methods: A descriptive bibliometric study was performed on the Cuban medical student journals Revista 16 de Abril(16 April Journal), and Revista Universidad Médica Pinareña (Pinareña Medical University Journal). An analysis was made of issues of both Journals published in electronic format in the period 2005-2015. Results: There was 90.44% student participation out of a total of 680 articles. The highest percentage corresponded to original articles, with only 7 articles being fully written by foreign authors, including 4 correspond to professional publications. There were 9 collaboration articles, including 4 from universities in different countries. Conclusions: The results show editorial stability in recent years: however, they have not met with the criteria of originality established. There was very little international collaboration and a high level of endogamy. It is expected to establish policies based on improving the quality of the editorial process, which should lead directly to better positioning of Cuban student journals internationally.
