论文摘要
古巴科学技术以重要的成就而闻名，尤其是在人类医疗保健和生物技术方面。在XX世纪下半叶，该国开发了一种科学机构系统，以解决和解决重大的经济，文化，社会和健康问题。但是，该岛在过去三十年中面临的经济危机对古巴科学研究产生了重大影响。除了减少投资外，成千上万的年轻人以及高级科学家的移民对古巴研究成果产生了重大影响。迄今为止，在此期间尚无有关科学出版物，引用或专利的系统分析。在这里，对古巴科学生产进行了分析，并特别关注最近三十年（1990年至2019年）。将所有国家指标与其他国家进行了比较，强调了拉丁美洲的指标。初步结果表明，与几个拉丁美洲国家（平均五倍）相比，古巴科学出版物以较低的速度（两倍）增长（两倍）。此外，自2014年以来，古巴科学出版物的年数正在减少。最后，分析表明，大多数具有较高引文指数的年轻古巴作者（1990-2019）正在国外工作。与这项研究相关的所有数据和代码都是开放的，可以在GitHub（https://github.com/ypriverol/cubascience）中找到。
Cuban science and technology are known for important achievements, particularly in human healthcare and biotechnology. During the second half of XX century, the country developed a system of scientific institutions to address and solve major economical, cultural, social and health problems. However, the economic crisis faced by the island during the last three decades has had a major impact in Cuban scientific research. In addition to decreased investment, the emigration of thousands of young as well as senior scientists to other countries have had a major impact in Cuban research output. To date, no systematic analysis regarding scientific publications, citations, or patents granted to Cuban authors during this period, are available. Here, an analysis of Cuban scientific production since 1970, with an especial focus on the last three decades (1990 - 2019), is provided. All national metrics are compared with other countries, emphasizing those from Latin America. Preliminary results show that Cuban scientific publications are increased at a lower rate (two-fold) compare with several Latin American countries (five-fold average). In addition, since 2014 the annual number of Cuban scientific publications is decreasing. Finally, the analysis shows that most young Cuban authors with the higher index of citations (1990-2019) are working abroad. All the data and the code related to this study are open and can be found in GitHub (https://github.com/ypriverol/cubascience).
