Abstract
Objective: to analyze the scientific production published in Spanish Nursing Journals during the year 2014.
Method: a transversal descriptive bibliometric study. The analysis included 391 articles published during the year 2014 in seven Spanish Nursing Journals, which met the editorial quality criteria by Latindex, had been indexed in Cuiden and Enfispo, and met two of the following three criteria: indexation in Cinahl, inclusion in the SJR List of Impact Factor, or in the Cuiden List of Immediate Impact Factor. The study variables on authorship were: number, gender, qualification and affiliation; the type of article was also considered, regarding the reference to Material and Methods in said articles.
Results: 391 articles from seven Nursing Journals were analyzed. The mean number of authors per article was 3.71, with 74% of female presence. The prevalent type of study was descriptive, with 43.5%. A 17.7% of publications included some physician among their authors. The 78.8% of Spanish regions have entered some publication, while 21.9% of articles were international.
Conclusions: the majority of the authors are women, though the male group has a comparatively higher publication rate. The presence of physicians in Nursing is very low in Spain. The descriptive study is the most widely used type. The knowledge of certain b ibiliometric parameters can help authors to increase the likelihood of having their article published.
