Abstract: The purpose of this study was to characterize the area of 
Engineering, Chemical at Mexico. So, it has been reviewed at the institutional 
level, through the database Web of Science (WoS), work on Engineering, 
Chemical conducted by researchers in Mexican institutions and published in 
international journals with impact factor between 1997 and 2008. It the Latin 
American context, where work has been published rate 6,183 article or review 
in 119 journals, and in Mexico were found 1,302 articles in 87 journals published 
mostly in English (96.08%), but in Spanish (3.69%) and French (0.23%). On the 
other hand, we have analyzed the Universities and Research Centers from the 
point of view quantitative and qualitative, through some bibliometric indicators 
as the Weighted Impact Factor, Relative Impact Factor and the ratio between 
the number of citations compared to the number of documents. Thus, among 
the five most productive institutions stressed the Mexican Petroleum Institute 
by the number of documents and the National Autonomous University of Mexico 
for the ratio between quotes against documents and for the Weighted Impact 
Factor.
