LUNA-MORALES, Evelia; RUSSELL, Jane M.  e  MIRELES-CARDENAS, Celia. Evolution and impact of research at the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí. Investig. bibl [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.58, pp.175-213. ISSN 2448-8321.

The production and impact of publications authored by researchers from the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí (UASLP) from 1980 to October 2008 was studied using records from the Science Citation Index (SCI) and the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) via the Web of Science (WoS). Additionally, membership in the Mexican National Researchers System (SNI) was analyzed from 1993 to 2010. General and comparative results are presented for publications, citations, preferred journals for publication, document types, disciplines, categories, language, impact factors and their relationship with researchers who are members of the SNI in terms of total numbers for each year, membership grade, knowledge areas, gender and institute or faculty of affiliation within the university. We conclude that the activities and scientific publications of the UASLP have entered a new, unprecedented phase of growth, with advances in the number of researchers who are members of SNI, and significant diversification of research areas.
