- In the present economies based on the knowledge, to get to quantify the results of the scientific research has a high strategic interest for the scientific policy of any country, institution, organism or even researchers. Through the observation and mathematical statistical treatment of the bibliographical information included in the publications, by means of the bibliometric studies, we can get to estimate the characteristics and the behavior of the science. In Mexico, Health is one of the sectors that count with a greater amount of resources assigned for research, therefore, its scientific production is important. Even though great part of this production comes from universities, a good part of the scientific activity is realized in research institutes and hospitals of both public and private sector. Nevertheless, there is not known what is the positioning in national or international in the matter of production, impact and scientific visibility. The purpose of this work is to identify the thematic visibility of the scientific production of the General Hospital of Mexico in the period of time 1999-2007, in two databases MEDLINE y WEB OF SCIENCE. The final goal is to have the indicators of measure in reference to the quantity of scientific articles produced by the personnel of the hospital in its period of study. Method, for the identification of the scientific production of the hospital, a bibliographical research was conducted in both databases, MEDLINE and WEB OF SCIENCE for the limited period of 1999-2007. Analizing 645 documents with institutional adcription , the thematic visibility of the Hospital was obtained. Records recovered were analized manually and using Microsoft Excel 2003 and BIBEXCEL 2001, identifying the production for units of attention, clinics, laboratories etc., author, year of publication, language, journals, and medical subject headings used in the articles. Besides, the benchmarking of the hospital was obtained opposite to other institutions in a national context. The results as far as the scientific production of the HGM refers, included 645 bibliographical references distributed in nine years included in this study, with visibility in MEDLINE and the WEB OF SCIENCE, obtaining this way, distribution by: year, language, type of document, source of publication, authorship, impact factor for the journals and subject headings. Thematic visibility of the Hospital, according to the MeSH in MEDLINE indicated that the production is mainly related to: Results of a Treatment, Following Studies, Double Blind Studies, Epidemiology in Mexico, etc. On the other hand, the Key Words of the WEB OF SCIENCE indicated that this production is related to Espondilitis Esquilosante, Disease, Proteins and Rheumatoid arthritis, DNA, Identification and Prevalence, principally. The benchmarking of the General Hospital of Mexico reported that within 30 of the most productive institutions in health sciences; was located in the position number eight, over some national institutes of research, medical school, etc. Discussion, results obtained from this study are stored in a database that pretends to be used as base of reference for physical recovery of the production as well as to be incorporated in the institutional repository named Production of the General Hospital of Mexico (PROHGEM). Even more, this report has administrative and political implications at level of application of the results of the study. This is to say, in the processes of making of decisions of the hospital, related to a scientific policy and the management of the resources assigned to the research and the technological development. The services of information for example, the library (CEIDS) of the hospital, must work in some of these finds basis. Conclusions, with the development of this study we confirms to Bradford's Law, which applied in the scientific production of the hospital, identified in the databases MEDLINE and WEB OF SCIENCE for the period 1999-2007, indicates that it possesses high number of relevant articles that center in a limited number of titles of scientific journals. Another law of librarianship confirmed in this study is Lotka's Law, which is simply the description of a quantitative relation between the authors and the articles produced in a given field and in a determinated period.
