  • The production of health literature is characterized in the province of Ciego de Ávila, starting from the articles published by professionals from the territory in 23 Cuban medical journals between 1990 and 1997. During this period, 42 papers were published with a total author/article average of 3.5 and a men: women ratio of 4:1. On considering the population of first degree specialists in this province, in 1996, it was obtained an articles production index of 0.93 x 100 doctors. On analyzing the type of research study according to its subject and level of analysis, the predominance of articles dealing with clinical research studies, public health and biomedical research were observed. The scientific production was specially low among male nurses, primary care physicians and stomatologists. Most of the authors come from the provincial hospitals of Ciego de Ávila and Morón. Emphasis is made on the necessity of creating data bases with adequate bibliometric indicators that reflect the real situation of health scientific research in this province.
