Introduction: science and scientific production are spaces given to men for centuries, although in the 21st century, there are gaps in this sense. Aim: to describe from a gender perspective the scientific production in the academic journals of Cuban medical universities, period 2017-2021. Method: a descriptive bibliometric study was carried out. The universe consisted of all the academic journals of Cuban medical universities in the period 2017-2021, they were reviewed between December 2022 and March 2023. The sampling was non-probabilistic and the sample was 19. Only regular numbers were considered. Results: women were 19% of the magazine directors and 44% of the editorial board composition. 57.5% of the editorials were written by men. 2.6% of the articles dealt with the gender approach. 61.8% of the authors were women and 38.2% were men. Women were 55.7% of the lead authors. In 32.3% of the articles, women predominated as authors and 23.7% were written only by women; gender equality represented 14.1%. Conclusions: an empowerment of women in Cuba is evident as they are the majority within scientific production in medical universities. However, this is not reflected in the direction of the magazines and the composition of their editorial committees, where men predominate, nor in publications with a gender focus, which is still insufficient.

En los últimos años, la creación de redes sociocientíficas ha sido la norma, debido al gran impulso que puede significar agruparse y desarrollar actividades en conjunto para el logro de un fin común. En 2020 se creó la red WeEditors.org que nació de la iniciativa de tres editores de revistas científicas que querían conforman un grupo en donde se apostara por la profesionalización y se impulsaran a las revistas iberoamericanas, partiendo de la idea de que haciendo un grupo en donde convergieran revistas experimentadas y revistas nuevas, pudiera servir para transferir conocimientos y lograr en suma el mejoramiento de los procesos en la búsqueda de un posicionamiento de la ciencia latinoamericana. El objetivo de este artículo es caracterizar las revistas de la red WeEditors.org para el trazado de estrategias en pos del fortalecimiento y avance de dicha red. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo observacional durante el periodo comprendido entre los meses de mayo-junio de 2022, como fuente primaria fue empleada la base de datos Excel que forma parte del registro de dicha red, la cual contaba con un total de 98 revistas (N ꓿ 98). La realización de este estudio recopiló información interesante y suficiente para el diseño e implementación de actividades futuras a desarrollar sobre capacitaciones prácticas, implementación de publicación continua, de Ciencia Abierta, empleo de taxonomía CRediT y de código ORCID. La sistematización de este tipo de estudios de caracterización es vital para el trazado de las estrategias pertinentes y realizar las comparaciones para el análisis de la evolución de la red. Aún queda camino por recorrer, pero el futuro parece prometedor.

Introduction: the Nipah virus causes severe disease with high mortality rates in humans. Since its discovery, it has been studied for its pandemic potential and lethality. Objective: analyze the scientific production on the Nipah virus, to identify its trend at an international level. Method: a descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study of the scientific production related to the Nipah virus published in open access on the Web of Science Core Collection between 2000 and 2020 was carried out. The information search used the equation “Nipah NOT Hendra”, and of each record Information regarding the year of publication, authors with their institutional affiliation, type of publication and title of the journal (for articles), country of origin of the authors was extracted. VOSviewer 1.6.17 was used to map the collaboration networks between authors and countries, as well as the co-citation network and the concurrency of keywords. Results: 443 documents were recovered, where 79,23 % are articles and 99,79 % were published in English. The most productive sources are: Journal of Virology and Emerging Infections Diseases. A total of 1.724 authors were identified, observing a trend towards an increase in scientific production on the Nipah virus in the period analyzed, which allows the construction of theoretical frameworks that support strategies on this virus. Conclusions: the analysis carried out responds to the WHO priority on monitoring this pathogen, classified as one of those with the greatest potential to generate pandemic outbreaks and high morbidity and mortality.
