Abstract : 

Objectives: To analyze, according to bibliometrics indicators, the characteristics of scientific production found in papers published in the journal Farmacéuticos Comunitarios (JFC). 

Methods: Design: retrospective descriptive study of the bibliometric information obtained from articles published in the RFC from June 2009 to December 2020, consulted on its website. 

Indicators: general productivity (PI), by Autonomous Community, typology, number of authors, affiliation, cooperation index (CI), transitory index (TI), Lotka productivity index (LPI).

Results: During the period studied, the JFC published 12 volumes with 47 issues and 297 articles, with a general PI of 2.5. 148 (49.8%) were original research articles. 569 authors published at least one article, with an TI of 78.0% and 6 “large producers” (≥10 papers). The CI was 3.2, with a growing trend. The most productive AC were the Valencian Community and Galicia. 70.5% of signatories are community pharmacists, followed by 12.1% university professors and 7% medical professors. In 42.8% of articles at least one of the authors is not a community pharmacist. SEFAC collaborated with 15 scientific societies in the drafting of 6 Consensus Documents.

Conclusions: Most of the bibliometric indicators studied in the JFC are at the level of other journals in the area of Health Sciences, although some are still influenced by the short temporal tour of the journal. It provides adequate, serious and rigorous support for the transfer to the scientific community of research results in its field of action.
