title: [Systematization of the knowledge of tropical medicine through its technical and scientific flow].
abstract: Through the analysis of different scientific-investigative and scientific-informative parameters it is attempted the approach and suggestion of solutions to the problems of bibliographic dispersion in tropical medicine. To this purpose, the work performed in determining the degree of development of the main investigative and development trends at an international scale is exposed. The production of information by countries and continents as well as the main periodic and serial (journals) publications and languages with the highest diffusion in tropical medicine are analyzed. The value of the bibliographic dispersion coefficient in tropical medicine is pointed out, and it is compared to other branches and specialties within biomedical sciences.
