Abstract: Objective: To assess the scientific activity and information

by means of a Bibliometric study.
Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study of the results obtained from the 
analysis of the articles published in the journal Nutricion Hospitalaria.
The data were obtained by consulting the electronic version through the 
Web. In those cases in which there was a link breakdown, and thus, the 
inability to have access to the electronic document the printed version 
was consulted. All the documental possibilities were taken into account 
with the exception of communications to congresses.
Results: A total of 345 articles were published, 187 (54.20%) being 
original articles. The geographical distribution of the first author was 
Spanish in 287 articles (83.19%) and Latin American in 27 (7.83%). Most of 
the articles are from health care centers (172 articles (49,86%)), and the 
cooperation index being 4.15. Madrid is the most productive province, for 
both the absolute and adjusted frequencies. The median number of 
references per article is 18, the mean being 23.52 (95% CI 20.93 - 26.10). 
The predominant language was Spanish, with 308 articles (89.28%).
Conclusion: Nutricion Hospitalaria may be considered as a reference 
journal regarding information and scientific communication on Nutrition 
for both the Spanish and Latin American communities. The bibliometric 
parameters studied compare with those verified for theremaining top of the 
list Spanish scientific journals on health sciences.
