Abstract
The Institute of Research in Medical Microbiology and Parasitology (IMPaM) of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET) was evaluated using the bibliometric tool SciVal to identify its strengths and weaknesses in terms of scientific production. The research areas, the institution's influence in the research field, financing, and available resources were analyzed. It was found that more than 50% of the articles are open access, and it is suggested to encourage publication in open access journals without embargo periods. The most representative thematic areas are related to the institution's social objective, with Medicine, Immunology and Microbiology, and Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology being the most prominent. Additionally, it was concluded that international collaboration is essential for scientific research. Despite its high production of open access articles, IMPaM is below average in Weighted Citation Impact by Field and needs to strengthen international collaboration links and expand thematic diversity to maintain its relevance in scientific research. Overall, the SciVal evaluation provided a useful guide to improve the institution's scientific production and its impact on the international scientific community.
