TL;DR
It is estimated that 1/3 of the papers produced by this region cannot be identified in this database because the region does not appear in the affiliation address.
Abstract
La inclusión de un solo lugar de trabajo en los registros bibliográficos de MEDLINE constituye una conocida e importante limitación para el uso de la base de datos con fines bibliométricos. En este documento se ofrecen datos cuantitativos sobre las repercusiones que esta limitación tiene sobre el volumen e impacto de la producción científica de una determinada región española en un estudio basado en MEDLINE. En concreto, se estima que 1/3 de los documentos de la región no se identifican en esta base de datos por figurar la región en una posición distinta a la primera; y tiende a infravalorarse el impacto regional, ya que son documentos en colaboración que se publican en «mejores» revistas y reciben más citas que el promedio de la producción.
