[Bibliometric analysis of the Spanish Journal of Chemotherapy (1996-2000)].
A bibliometric study of the output of Spanish scientific research into antimicrobial and antiparasitic chemotherapy was carried out, based on articles published in the Spanish Journal of Chemotherapy from 1996 to 2000. The 20 issues of the journal corresponding to the 5-year period studied were analyzed using the main indicators for bibliometry: article typology; output; Bradford's Law and Lotka's estimation; collaboration index; institutional origin; geographic location; subject; and advertising. The majority of the articles were original, and a small group of high-output authors and an appropriate level of contribution were identified. The greatest percentage of scientific output was from the autonomous regions of Madrid and Valencia. The majority of studies included in the analysis were hospital-based and the most researched topic was antimicrobial drugs. A reduction in the amount of advertising was noted.
