Abstract
[Abstract] Objectives: The aim of this work is to perform a quantitative analysis of the scientific production appearing in the REVISTA ESPAÑOLA DE CIRUGÍA ORAL Y MAXILOFACIAL (RECOM) between the years 2005 and 2011, followed by a literature review of these contents. Material and method: A descriptive and longitudinal study was conducted on the articles published in the RECOM Journal between January 2005 and December 2011. The investigated variables were: documental types with scientific character, topics, and language in which it was published, source, institutional affiliations and multiple authorship, mean time between the submission of the paper, and the number of times that articles have been mentioned by RECOM itself. Results: A total of 200 scientific articles were published in RECOM during the period studied, mostly clinical cases about oral surgery or oncology written in Spanish. Madrid hospitals produced 28% of the articles in this journal, and the number of international papers was low (23% from South America, and only 2% European). The mean waiting time between submitting the documentation and its acceptance was 296 days. The reference index received for articles published in the RECOM was 4%. Conclusion: There was significant in RECOM during the period studied, improvements that must continue in order to gain recognition.
