Resumen: Este trabajo identifica y expone algunas características de la producción científica en ciencias de la salud de instituciones radicadas en Puerto Rico durante el período de 1990 a 1998, utilizando para ello la base de datos del Science Citation Index (SCI), producida por el Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) de Filadelfia. Han sido utilizados indicadores bibliométricos unidimensionales y multidimensionales para mostrar su evolución en el tiempo. Se ha comprobado el aumento de la producción de los grupos de investigación en la isla en el área de ciencias de la salud, identificándose las principales áreas de investigación, así como algunos aspectos relacionados con la colaboración entre investigadores a nivel nacional e internacional. Además, se comprueba que la visibilidad de la investigación es alta y se exponen los hábitos en cuanto a la tipología documental y el idioma en que los investigadores dan a conocer su trabajo, así como las revistas más utilizadas para publicarlos. Palabras clave: producción científica, Puerto Rico, ciencias de la salud, bibliometría, indicadores bibliométricos.Abstract: This study identifies and sets out some of the characteristics of the scientific production in Health Science of institutions located in Puerto Rico over the period from 1990 to 1998, by using the Science Citation Index (SCI) database, produced by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) of Philadelphia. Some one-dimensional bibliometric indicators have been used and techniques of one-variant statistics analysis have been applied to demonstrate its evolution in time. The increase in production of the research groups from the island in the Health Science area has been tested and the main areas of research, as well as some aspects related to co-operation between researchers at national and international levels, have been identified. Furthermore, the high level of visibility in the research is verified and the habits related to documentary typology and language in which researchers release their work, as well as magazines used for their publication is highlighted.
