Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this paper was to perform a descriptive analysis of Chile’s scientific production registered in Scopus for the period 2009 to 2020. An increase of 230% in scientific production and the number of universities ranked in SIR was observed. However, citations dropped drastically to 9%. A moderate positive relationship was observed between investment in research and development, and the number of universities ranked in CRS, as well as the number of articles published per million inhabitants. Chile has maintained its international position since 2009, placing itself among the first four Latin American countries that stand out for their scientific production. Nevertheless, the impact of its publications has decreased significantly in terms of citations received.
