Objective: Evaluate the performance of the Colombian scientific activity in nursing, visible at ISI WoS in the period 2001-2013 for know trends and regularities. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective utility method is used in bibliometric analysis. The search was performed using Nursing and Colombia as descriptors, with which were obtained 133 records. After a normalization process, 118 documents published by 526 authors were reviewed to study the productivity variables as authors, institutions, descriptors and magazines as well as the timing distribución and collaborative networks of authors, descriptors and co-citation of authors and documents. Results: Displays a decrease in the annual production of documents, similar to the citations received per year. Spanish, as their primary language of publication of contributions, where 40% of the scientific production is published in the Journal Aquichán and 62.4% in universities of the country focusing on publishing issues in nursing care. Through the method of analysis of social networks are obtained matrices of collaboration and co-citation which allow us to conclude the existence of few highly cited authors, non-presence of strong collaborative relationships and diversity of terms related to clinical, administrative and social areas of nursing. Conclusions: The scientific activity has increased the amount of documents and annual quotes, aspect that has been gaining visibility and recognition in the international scientific community, aspect perceived at the indicators obtained in the investigation.
