ABSTRACT

Introduction: the activity of drug information services has developed since the appearance of drugs until the present days, as well as, since the analysis of those services was expressed in the scientific literature. According to this fact, the present work has as objective to characterize scientific production related to drug information services taking as reference the Web of Science database.
Methods: a retrospective, longitudinal and descriptive study of the scientific production related to drug information services in the Web of Science was carried out. A strategy of bilingual searching was used writing the terms «Drug Information Services» and «Servicio de Información sobre Medicamentos», and it allowed us to gather all scientific articles related to the mentioned terms from 1972 and October, 2013. All compiled data were processed by means of the bibliographic database Endnote X5; co-occurrence matrices were obtained using Bibexcel software, while Ucinet 6 program was used for the visualization of collaborative networks. Six unidimensional and five bidimensional measurements were studied.
Results: the number of recovered articles reached to 105 (76,19 % originals). The greatest productivity was observed from 2004 to 2008 with 28 documents; United States of America, Germany and Finland were the most productive countries. There were identified 299 authors, such as, Pohjanoksa-Mantyla MK. y Haefeli WE. who were the most prolific ones. There was not a significant author, institutional or international collaboration.
