Abstract

In this article, a bibliometric analysis of the authors, journals, research institutions, countries and keywords found in 27,750 documents from the Web of Science written by Latin American authors or co-authors in Physics between the years 2013 and 2022, is carried out. The results show that the last ten years have seen increasing numbers in the scientific production and that the more outstanding authors of the region are mainly from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia, with the United States being the non-Latin American country involved in the largest number of collaborations. Brazil is the most productive country in the region and the areas that draw most interest are Optics, Materials Science, Physics Applied, Nanotechnology and Chemistry Physical. Given that collaborations with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) involve more than 1000 authors per document or other large similar collaborations, works associated with high energy physics have been excluded from this study.
