English abstract

A bibliometric study was conducted to determine the development of biomedical informatics in the last decade of the 20th century. Thirty-four journals specialized in this field and indexed by the Institute for Scientific Information of Philadelphia were selected and the Journal Citation Report covering the evaluated period was consulted to determine the average impact factor as well as the increase index of the impact factor of each of them. Also the general average impact factor of journals published between 1992 and 1999 and the general increase index of the general average impact factor were estimated. The results were shown in graphs and the 10 top journals according to the highest average impact factor reached, the highest increase index of their impact factor and the highest impact factors accrued in the evaluated period were recorded. Finally comments are made on the main applications of informatics in Biomedicine and the advantages of the analysis of citations made by the Institute for Scientific Information to assess the performance of a biomedical discipline.

Se realizó un estudio bibliométrico para determinar la evolución de la informática biomédica durante la última década del siglo XX. Se seleccionaron 34 revistas especializadas en la materia e indizadas por el Institute for Scientific Information de Philadelphia, y se consultaron los Journal Citation Report correspondientes al período evaluado para determinar el factor de impacto promedio, así como el índice de incremento del factor de impacto de cada una de ellas. Se calculó además el factor de impacto promedio general de las revistas de 1992 a 1999, y se determinó el índice de incremento general del factor de impacto promedio. Los resultados fueron graficados, y se registraron las 10 mejores revistas de acuerdo con el factor de impacto promedio más elevado, el mayor índice de incremento de su factor de impacto y los mayores factores de impacto conseguidos en el período evaluado. Finalmente, se comentaron las aplicaciones principales de la informática en la Biomedicina y se destacó la utilidad de los análisis de citas realizados por el Institute for Scientific Information para evaluar el comportamiento de una disciplina biomédica.
