Análisis de la producción científica en el Área Sanitaria IV. Servicio de Salud del Principado de Asturias (2018-2022).

Abstract

With this work the objective of knowing and analyzing the scientific production of the Health Area IV, of the Health Service of the Principality of Asturias, during the period from 2018-2022. A total of 3,808 records were obtained, of which only 3,501 came from a standardized institution: the Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias (HUCA). The indicators available in the Web of Science (WOS) were used for the analysis, and were analyzed with the Incites suite and Biblioshiny data analysis software. The VOSviewer tool was used to visualize the collaborative networks. The results of the research showed that most of the scientific production is concentrated in the Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias, which is a reference point for Asturias in the field of health. The tendency of collaboration is local, since most of the institutions with more documents in collaboration are local organizations such as the University of Oviedo and the Institute for Health Research of the Principality of Asturias (ISPA). Oncology and Cardiology are the most published thematic areas; the author with the highest number of publications is Paula Jiménez-Fonseca. The aim of this work is to provide information to the institution in order to make managers aware of the importance of knowing the behavioral patterns of its scientific production, which can be used to establish an appropriate methodology for the management of the institution.
