Description
The Table 1 presents the results of surveys, in 18 Ibero-American countries and in the world, carried out in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) or Web of Science - Core Collection - Clarivate Analytics – (WoS) and Scopus (Elsevier): AR - Argentina, BR - Brazil, CL - Chile, CO - Colombia, CR - Cota Rica, CU - Cuba, DO - Dominican Republic, EC - Ecuador, ES - Spain, GT - Guatemala, HN - Honduras, MX - Mexico, NI - Nicaragua, PA - Panama, PE - Peru, PT - Portugal, SV - El Salvador, UY - Uruguay.
Merging the Scopus and Web of Science bases, the scientometric methodology of K-Synth (Bibliometrix) is applied here, according to which the scientific production of each country is measured by the number of appearances of authors by country affiliations. Thus, if in an article there are, for example, three authors working, respectively, in Brazil, Spain and the USA, the appearance counter will be increased by 1 for each of them. Due to the identification of some gaps, the electronically merged data were reconciled with the original databases.
As for the Main Subject Areas, the classification adopted is that of Scopus Elsevier, as well as the compiled data, as it is the most quantitatively complete basis for this research.
Data is updated until June 2024.
