          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: La Revista Cubana de Pediatría se ha publicado ininterrumpidamente durante 90 años, sin embargo, no existen estudios bibliométricos que hayan caracterizado su gestión, aspecto que resulta de especial interés para su dirección editorial. Objetivo: Analizar el estado de la producción científica de la Revista Cubana de Pediatría, con vistas al establecimiento de políticas para la mejora continua de sus procesos editoriales. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio bibliométrico descriptivo durante el período 2005-2016. Se utilizaron las bases de datos Scopus y SciELO. Se recuperaron 620 artículos publicados, que se introdujeron en una base de datos ad hoc en EndNote X7, para su normalización. Se aplicó a una batería de indicadores bibliométricos para el análisis de los datos. Se utilizó una perspectiva de género para el análisis de la autoría. Se emplearon los software Bibexcel, UCINET, NetDraw, Gephi y Microsoft Excel 2013 para el procesamiento, análisis y visualización de los datos. Resultados: Se identificaron los autores e instituciones más productivos. Se calculó un índice de Price de 0.41, lo que denota baja actualización de las fuentes utilizadas para el desarrollo de las investigaciones. Predominaron los artículos originales y de revisión, así como el español como lengua de publicación. Se estudiaron las redes de colaboración nacional e internacional, y temáticas. Conclusiones: La escasa contribución internacional en los contenidos y la baja actualidad de las referencias, son los principales aspectos negativos identificados. La caracterización bibliométrica permite conocer factores estratégicos para la futura política editorial de la revista.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: The Cuban Journal of Pediatrics has been published continuously during 90 years. However, there are not bibliometric studies that have characterized this prestigious journal, which is an aspect of special interest for the Journal´s editorial committee. Objective: To analyze the scientific production of the Cuban Journal of Pediatrics, with the aim to establish policies for the continuous improvement of its editorial processes. Methods: A descriptive bibliometric study was carried out from 2005 to 2016, using Scopus and SciELO databases. A total of 620 published articles were retrieved. The retrieved items were introduced into an ad hoc database using EndNote X7 for normalization purposes. A battery of bibliometric indicators for data analysis was applied. The gender perspective was used to analyze authorship. Bibexcel, UCINET, NetDraw, Gephi and Microsoft Excel 2013 were used as software for data processing, analysis and visualization. Results: The most productive authors and institutions were identified. A Price index of 0.41 was calculated, which indicates low updating of the sources used for research development. Original and review articles were predominant, as well as Spanish as the publication language. National and international collaboration networks were studied. Conclusions: Low international contribution in journal contents, and obsolescence of references were the main negative aspects identified. Bibliometric characterization allowed knowing strategic factors for a future editorial policy of the journal.

            Authorship in paediatric research conducted in low- and middle-income countries: parity or parasitism?

            Interest in global health has increased greatly in the past two decades. Concomitantly, the number and complexity of research partnerships between high-income (HIC) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has grown. We aimed to determine whether there is authorship parity (equitable representation and author order) or parasitism (no authors from study countries) in paediatric research conducted in LMICs.
