SIMON VALERO, Daniel; CORDEIRO VIDAL, Gloria  y  AGRAS SUAREZ, María Concepción. Is there a theme or trend trending topic in the nursing scientific production in Spain?: bibliometric study of keywords. Index Enferm [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.4, pp.297-299. ISSN 1699-5988.

Objectives: Verify the existence of a trend or main theme in nursing published in Spain during the 2014 scientific production. Methodology: Quantitative descriptive retrospective cross-sectional bibliometric study, on a cohort made up of 7 Spanish nursing journals. Results: 391 articles were analyzed, accounting for a total of 1639 keywords. The average keyword per item was 4.2, the most repeated "nursing" with 66 appearances. Some publications have keywords with higher occurrence ratio to 25% of their articles. Conclusions: The number of keywords per paper is within the general recommendations. No thematic nationwide trend was found, although strong repetitions of keywords individually in some magazines. Knowledge of certain bibliometric parameters can help the author to improve the chances of publishing his manuscript.
