Cuban Science Stats Portal

Live project - CubaScience

This repository provides information about Cuban research productivity in recent years. We tried to stduy different metrics:

publications by years
number of citations per year
patents

We have tried to compare each metric for Cuba and other latinoamerican countries. The data has been collected from the follwing sources:

Global numer of publications (Web of Science Data - https://www.webofknowledge.com/). (Note: We din't use Scielo in the analysis because the majority of the papers are in spanish making the comparison with other countries - e.g. Brazil - bias).
We have collected the number of publications per year (agreggated view) from https://www.scimagojr.com/ (information contained in the Scopus® database (Elsevier B.V.))
The patents information was collected from the World Data Bank (https://data.worldbank.org/)
The profiles from the most cited cuban authors (authors with more than 1k citations) has been manually collected from GoogleScholar. We carefully review each profile and if the user profile contains papers that do not belongs to the author then is not included in the list.
