The bibliometric studies applied to the scientific production of universities can provide valuable information for the decision-making process related to research planning and evaluation. The objective of this paper is to represent and to analyze the research profile of the Industrial Engineering School of the Polytechnic University of Havana José Antonio Echeverría (Cujae) in Cuba, by means of a bibliometric study applied to its scientific production indexed in the databases Scopus and Web of Science during the period 2003-2012. There were evaluated internationally validated indicators for the quantitative and qualitative dimension of the production, as well as indicators for the scientific collaboration, which allowed the determination of the visibility and impact of these publications at international level. By means of the comparison of the results, it was possible the assessment of the contribution of the School to the position of Cujae in the several editions of the SIR Latin American ranking. It was concluded that, even though there has been a positive tendency in the number of articles in the last years, the percentage of papers in international collaboration is low and the average of cites per paper is below the tendency described in the literature.
