Abstract

The paper provides a picture of Mexican health sciences research for the years 1982–1986, measuring, bibliometrically, the size of its scientific activity. The most widely bibliometric indicators for research evaluation, publication count and citation analysis, are combined to determine the degree of production, productivity, and impact. The study also highlights the role of leading research institutions.
