Abstract

We analyzed the Mexican research in Health Sciences included in MEDLINE, between the period of 1987-2001. The objective was to know its international impact. Results showed that there is a constant growth in the studied period, and that most of scientific articles has been written in universities institutions, mainly the UNAM, and in government Institutes of Health. The greater international impact was obtained by papers elaborated by UNAM researchers, and the centralization of the investigation in few regions of the country was identified. Also, the biochemistry, the neurociencias and the pharmacology were the disciplines with a greater number of received cites.
