Abstract

This article analyses scientific publishing trends in engineering in Colombia during the decade from 2010 to 2019. Methodology: All publications classified under engineering affiliated to a Colombian institution in Scopus database were selected. Number of publications, citations, self-citations as well as H indexes were collected for the country’s top researchers and institutions. Results: Universidad Nacional de Colombia and Universidad de Antioquia have the highest overall research outputs. However, Universidad de los Andes has a higher output in engineering publications than Universidad de Antioquia. Universidad de los Andes and Universidad Nacional de Colombia had the highest growth in engineering publications during this decade. Conclusions: Colombia’s engineering scientific output grew 80% during this decade. Authors with high number of publications were not necessarily affiliated to the universities with higher scientific output.
