Participation of Latin authors in TOP dermatology journals during 2021: a brief bibliometric analysis

Keywords: Dermatology; Bibliometrics; Scholarly Communication; Hispanic or Latino

Abstract

A key global health objective is to promote the advancement of scientific production in disciplines with low publication volume, as opposed to specialties addressing pathologies that represent the greatest global disease burden (1). Dermatology is one such discipline, which has experienced substantial growth in research on immunopathogenic, pathophysiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects (2-4). The extent to which Latin American authors and institutions have been involved in publishing scientific articles in the dermatology journals with highest impact worldwide remains unknown.
