Bibliometric analysis
The CIEN Foundation maintains a strong commitment to the development of re- search, as well as to generate and promote scientific knowledge in improving the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases both within and outside our borders. Translating to society and the scientific community the progress made in the knowledge about neurological diseases in general, and about Alzheimer’s disease in particular, is a fundamental task.
The scientific production of the CIEN Foundation researchers during 2019 has reached a total of 20 publications, of which 25 have been published in nationally and internationally recognized scientific journals (23 original articles and two rev- ies), one book and one book chapter.
The analysis of these publications has allowed studying, through a series of quan- titative indicators, both the CIEN Foundation scientific activity as the production, subject, and degree of collaboration and impact of scientific publications. Through this analysis we can note, for instance, that the average impact factor of publica- tions within the first and second quartiles has gone from 5.074 in 2018 up to 8.326 in 2019, an 39.06% increase over the previous year.
In addition, during this year the CIEN Foundation has continued its national and international collaborations, so that 44% of the articles corresponded to stud- ies carried out in collaboration with international institutions, 72.22% with Spanish ones, and the remaining 5.56% were performed exclusively by CIEN Foundation researchers. Also noteworthy is the high proportion of collaborative publications with other CIBERS and research networks in the first and second quartiles (50%).
