Bibliometric Analysis: Six Decades of Scientific Production from a Nationwide Institution: Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (ISSSTE) from Mexico

“…Prior to our publication, the interest of the scientific community on this topic was so low that in the last 70 years, we could only find five papers in PubMed with “Mexican publications” or “publications Mexico” in their title [ 20 ]: one dates back to the 1950s [ 21 ], two are from the 1970s [ 22 , 23 ], and the last two were written in the 1990s [ 24 , 25 ]. ISSSTE´s PRISMA diagram representing the paper selection process is described in Figure 2 .…”

“…As mentioned in the introduction, bibliometric analysis (BA) has largely been ignored by Mexican scientists in the medical field. In other parts of the world, BA has sparked a lot of interest, and developed nations (from North America [ 16 ], Europe [ 17 ], Asia [ 20 ], and Oceania [ 21 ], as well as less advanced economies in South America [ 22 ] and Africa [ 23 ], have made efforts to evaluate the importance of their contributions to the global corpus of science. We would like to encourage other Mexican researchers to join our efforts to analyze our contribution to science.…”
