Resumen

Objetivo Realizar un análisis bibliométrico sobre el liderazgo femenino en medicina para conocer el panorama actual y dirigir futuras investigaciones.

Métodos Se realizó un análisis bibliométrico descriptivo retrospectivo de la literatura disponible en MEDLINE en relación con el liderazgo de mujeres médicas de 1973 al 2019.

Se utilizó Pubmed y FABUMED, y la siguiente estrategia: ("Leadership"[Mesh]) AND "Physicians, Women"[Mesh] (1973:2019[dp]). Se incluyeron artículos originales, de revista, ensayos, informes científicos y reseñas, para analizar toda la literatura indexada relacionada.

Para la obtención del factor de impacto (FI), se utilizó el Journal Citation Reports (7)2017/2018 de las revistas encontradas para estimar la calidad de cada una de ellas.

Resultados Un total de 310 referencias fueron encontradas en 139 revistas publicadas, el 71,2% fueron artículos originales, el resto revisiones. Hubo un incremento en las publicaciones de 1996 al 2019 en un 11,9%. Las revistas con mayor porcentaje de publicaciones fueron: Academic Medicine y J Womens Health (Larchmt), con 7,7% y 7,1%. Los países con mayores publicaciones fueron Estados Unidos, con 66 (56%) y Reino Unido con 10 (8,6%). América latina tiene cuatro publicaciones y Colombia no cuenta con ninguna publicación indexada.

Conclusión El liderazgo femenino en medicina y las publicaciones sobre el tema han aumentado en las últimas décadas en países industrializados. Por su parte, Latinoamérica debe aumentar sus esfuerzos en publicar en revistas con alto factor de impacto para trabajar por la equidad de género.

Abstract

Objective Perform a biometrical analysis of female leadership in medicine, in order to know the actual perspective and guide future research.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive bibliometric analysis of the literature available in MEDLINE was performed in relation to the leadership of female physicians from 1973 to 2019, through MEDLINE database, using GoPubmed and FABUMED. The following strategy was deployed: ("Leadership"[Mesh]) AND "Physicians, Women"[Mesh] (1973:2019[dp]). Original articles, journal articles, essays, scientific reports and reviews were included to analyze all related indexed literature. To obtain the impact factor (FI), the Journal Citation Reports (7) 2017/2018 of the journals found was used to estimate the quality of each one of them.

Results A total of 310 references were found in 139 published journals, 71.2% were original articles; the remaining 22% were reviews. There was a 11.9% increase in publications from 1996 to 2019. The journals with the highest rate of publications were: Academic Medicine and J Womens Health (Larchmt) with 7.7% and 7.1%. Countries with the highest number of publications were United States with 66 (56%), and United Kingdom with 10 (8.6%). Latin America has four publications, while Colombia has none.

Conclusion Female leadership in the medical field and the publications regarding this subject have increased in the last decades, mainly in developed countries. Latin America has to make significant efforts to produce more publications in journals with high impact factor, in order to close the gender gap in the medical field.
