ABSTRACT

Introduction: the international epidemiological scenario is characterized by the circulation of several infectious diseases. In this context, bibliometrics is constituted as a modern tool to evaluate the updating and reliability of information, as well as the behavior of science in the most diverse branches of knowledge.
Objective: to characterize the behavior of Cuban scientific production on infectious diseases in Scopus.
Method: an observational and descriptive bibliometric study was carried out, using the data provided by Scimago Journal & Country Rank. A search was made of the data offered by this platform on publications on infectious diseases carried out in Cuba from 2001 to 2020.
Results: a total of 1 342 documents were published for an average of 67,1 documents per year. The growth rate in this period was 178,9 % with an average annual rate of 8,9 %. A total of 20 383 citations were made in the period for an average number of citations of 1 019,1 citations per year. The total number of self-citations was 3,700, where 2006 (362) and 2007 (358) were the years with the highest number.
Conclusions: Cuban scientific production on infectious diseases has a marked upward trend, however, it is necessary to increase scientific training in these areas to improve quality and impact; and thus increase the number of citations. Self-citations maintain higher values than those found in other thematic areas and a tendency to decrease.
