Abstract

In this study, Nicaraguan scientific publications in the Web of Science during the period 2015-2020 were analysed. A total of 780 publications distributed in 426 journals were retrieved. The analysis of the publications showed a slight growth (19%) of the scientific production in the analysed period, a significant international collaboration (95%), and the preference of English (74%) as the publication language. MINSA and UNAN-Managua were the most productive Nicaraguan institutions, with a combined contribution of 40% to total publications. Regarding the research areas, business economics is the one with the greatest contribution, but the most productive thematic field corresponds to the medical and health sciences.
