ABSTRACT
The Mexican research journal Veterinaria Mexico has been published without interruption by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics (FMVZ) at the National Autonomous University Of Mexico (UNAM) since 1970. Analysis of the 518 studies published in the 40 issues of the journal from 1989 to 1998 showed that research articles were the most frequent type of contribution to the journal representing 60%. Subject areas of the contributions were mainly pathology, followed by reproduction, parasitology and pharmacology, corresponding to 47% of the total. Bovine were the most studied species appearing in almost a quarter of the papers followed by poultry, pigs and dogs, all with approximately 10% each. Authors from the FMVZ participated in only 33% of papers indicating the importance of this journal as a vehicle for the publication of results from other national and international institutions. One hundred and eighty contributions were found for the FMVZ published in co-authorship with other institutions within the UNAM or with other national institutions, whereas contributions in international collaboration of the FMVZ amounted to 19. Finally, foreign institutions were responsible for 67 contributions without the FMVZ, and national institutions for 228.REFERENCES
