  • The results from the retrospective and descriptive study aimed at knowing the features of active bibliography of Dr Carlos J Finlay published in journal articles are exposed. A procedure of bibliometric profile analysis was carried out in which the folliwing indicators were taking into account: the temporary extent of his scientific production, the researches published in Cuban and foreing journals, the articles he wrote as sole author and in colaboration, his original contribution ́s in Spanish and other languages, his translations and the topics he discussed as a publicist. From 1864 to 1912, Finlay wrote a total of 187 articles published in 11 Cuban journals and 9 foreing journals, 168 of them as sole author. Of a total numbers of 182 original works, 163 were written in Spanish. The other original works were written in English and Germany as well as 5 translation of texts from English and French. The most referred topics were yellow fever, cholera and eye diseases. The possible usefulness of this original study as a reference for further researches on Finlaist literature is established and the encouragement for the examination of other remarkable features of Cuban medical bibliography that remains unexplored.
