Iberoamérica a 500 años del descubrimiento : la producción científica de una región en ciencias biomédicas en la década de los ochenta

The celebration of the fifth centenary of the discovery of Latin America raises the need for describing and assessing the scientific production characterizing the region after five centuries of historical evolution with the aim of establishing a reference point for comparison to be used in future decades to analyze the development and the interest of the rest of the world in this geographical area. The inclusion of serials from the region in international databases and repertories was studied. The main characteristics of the scientific production generated by or about the region were analyzed. The outcomes showed the existence of a limited scientific production; a scarce representation of the publications in the international databases and repertories; a minimum consumption of the literature of the area in the international current; a scientific production model which is mainly clinical; and the existence of numerous local journals, which are not adequate for the dissemination of the scientific development of Latin America, thus provoking a great drain of scientific papers to foreign journals. A substantial interest on the region was observed through the great number of papers written about it. A first level was attained in the characterization of the scientific production of the studied area

Procesamiento de las publicaciones seriadas biomédicas cubanas en las bases de datos LILACS y MEDLINE en el periodo 1989-1992

The data bases LILACS and MEDLINE were consulted, with the intention of identifying biomedical publications from Cuba processings by them between 1989 and 1992. The amount of numbers published per year, the fulfillment of the publication plan and the dates of edition were considered like factors of possible relation with their processing

La Biblioteca Virtual de Salud de la provincia Holguín: un diagnóstico preliminar

Aimed at the development of the Medical Virtual Library of Holguin Province a preliminary diagnosis of existing conditions was carried out. The main concepts related to the virtual library are exposed, institutions with a higher scientific potential in health care areas are identified as well as the products and information services that can be moved to the web. The strategy to the introduction of the virtual library is provided as well as its extension to the different institutions of the Health Care System of the province. Finally, some critical aspects for the success of this project are exposed
