Archivos de Bronconeumología

ISSN: 0300-2896

Archivos de Bronconeumologia is an international journal that publishes original studies whose content is based upon results of research initiatives dealing with several aspects of respiratory medicine including epidemiology, respiratory physiology, pathophysiology of respiratory diseases, clinical management, thoracic surgery, pediatric lung diseases, respiratory critical care, respiratory allergy and basic research. Other types of articles such as editorials, reviews, and different types of letters are also published in the journal. Additionally, the journal expresses the voice of the following scientific societies: the Spanish Respiratory Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR; https://www.separ.es/), the Latin American Thoracic Society (ALAT; https://alatorax.org/), and the Iberian American Association of Thoracic Surgery (AIACT; http://www.aiatorax.com/).

It is a monthly journal in which all manuscripts are sent to peer-review and handled by the editor or an associate editor from the team and the final decision is made on the basis of the comments from the expert reviewers and the editors. The journal is published solely in English. All the published data is composed of novel manuscripts not previously published in any other journal and not being in consideration for publication in any other journal..

The journal is indexed at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/Pubmed, Embase and SCOPUS. Access to any published article is possible through the journal's web page as well as from Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and other international databases. Furthermore, the journal is also present in X, Facebook and Linkedin. Manuscripts can be submitted electronically using the following web site: https://www.editorialmanager.com/ARBR/.

Statistics

Objective

To analyze Spanish scientific productivity from 1999 through 2003 in the area of smoking research, in comparison with world and European Union research, based on data in the Science Citation Index (SCI).

Material and methods

This bibliometric study was carried out by searching the title field of the Science Citation Index Expanded. Descriptive statistics with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were compiled.

Results

Two-hundred ninety-two documents on smoking by Spanish authors were located. The most productive subspecialties were the group comprised of public health, education and health economics with 57 articles, and areas of the respiratory system, experimental research, and internal medicine with 36 articles each. The journals that published the largest number of articles located were Medicina Clínica, with 35 articles (12%) and Archivos de Bronconeumología with 20 (6.8%). International collaboration was undertaken with institutions in the United States of America and other European Union countries. The mean (SD) number of citations received was 5.12 (8.6) (range, 59-0). Spain contributed 8.34% of the SCI-indexed smoking research overall and 12.85% of SCI-indexed smoking research from the European Union.

Conclusions

Smoking research is developing appropriately in Spain and has high impact, even though output is modest. Factors associated with increased citation are international collaboration, language (being written in English), and having a non-Spanish first author.

Objetivo

Analizar a través del Science Citation Index la producción científica española en tabaquismo entre 1999 y 2003, situando a nuestro país en el contexto mundial y de la Unión Europea.

Material y métodos

Se ha realizado un estudio bibliométrico mediante la búsqueda en el campo “título” del Science Citation Index Expanded. El análisis estadístico fue descriptivo (intervalo de confianza del 95%).

Resultados

Se recopilaron 292 documentos sobre tabaquismo publicados por autores españoles. Las subáreas más productivas fueron las siguientes: salud pública, educación y economía de la salud con 57 documentos, seguidas de las subáreas de respiratorio, investigación experimental y medicina interna con 36 artículos cada una. Medicina Clínica, con 35 artículos (12%), y ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGÍA, con 20 (6,8%), fueron las revistas con un mayor número de documentos. La colaboración internacional se realizó con instituciones de la Unión Europea y EE UU, y la media ± desviación estándar de citaciones recibidas fue de 5,12 ± 8,6 (intervalo: 59-0). España aporta a la producción mundial en tabaquismo el 8,34%, y a la de la Unión Europea el 12,85%.

Conclusiones

La investigación en tabaquismo en España se desarrolla adecuadamente, con una alta repercusión, aunque la aportación es discreta. La colaboración internacional, el hecho de que el artículo esté escrito en inglés y que el primer firmante sea extranjero son las variables que aumentan el número de citas.
