                                            [0] => Objective. This study compared the scientific production of Peru and Ecuador between 1996 and 2024, analyzing its evolution, impact, and growth based on bibliometric indicators derived from SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SCImago).
Design/Methodology/Approach. A descriptive and comparative bibliometric study with a quantitative approach was developed. The data were obtained from SCImago in June 2025, based on information from Scopus. The indicators of production (total and citable documents), impact (total citations, H-index, and citations per document), and growth (annual production, growth rates, and global and regional participation) were analyzed. The period covered 1996–2024 and allowed for the evaluation of longitudinal trends linked to scientific and institutional reforms in both countries.
Results/Discussion. Peru had a higher cumulative output (77,771 documents) than Ecuador (60,731), as well as a higher impact in terms of total citations, citations per document, and H-index. However, Ecuador experienced rapid growth between 2016 and 2020, temporarily surpassing Peru in annual output. Starting in 2021, Peru regained and expanded its leadership, reaching a maximum difference of 2,706 documents in 2024. Both countries increased their share of global production: Peru reached 0.26% and Ecuador 0.19% in 2024.
Conclusions. Peru maintains a structural advantage in volume and scientific impact, while Ecuador’s growth shows remarkable dynamism, although less sustainable over time. Both countries have improved their international presence, but they require stable policies and sustained investment to consolidate their competitiveness in the regional and global context.
                                            [1] => Objetivo. En este estudio se comparó la producción científica de Perú y Ecuador entre 1996 y 2024, analizando su evolución, impacto y crecimiento a partir de indicadores bibliométricos derivados de SCImago Journal & Country Rank.
Diseño/Metodología/Enfoque. Se desarrolló un estudio bibliométrico descriptivo y comparativo con enfoque cuantitativo. Los datos se obtuvieron de SCImago en junio de 2025, basado en información de Scopus. Se analizaron indicadores de producción (documentos totales y citables), impacto (citas totales, H-index, citas por documento) y crecimiento (producción anual, tasas de crecimiento, participación mundial y regional). El periodo abarcó 1996-2024 y permitió evaluar tendencias longitudinales vinculadas con reformas científicas e institucionales en ambos países.
Resultados/Discusión. Perú presenta una producción acumulada mayor (77 771 documentos) que Ecuador (60 731), así como un impacto más elevado en citas totales, citas por documento e índice H. No obstante, Ecuador experimentó un crecimiento acelerado entre 2016 y 2020, superando temporalmente a Perú en producción anual. A partir de 2021, Perú recuperó y amplió su liderazgo, alcanzando en 2024 una diferencia máxima de 2706 documentos. Ambos países incrementaron su participación en la producción mundial: Perú llegó al 0,26 % y Ecuador al 0,19 % en 2024.
Conclusiones. Perú mantiene una ventaja estructural en volumen e impacto científico, mientras que el crecimiento ecuatoriano evidencia un dinamismo notable, aunque menos sostenible en el tiempo. Ambos países han mejorado su presencia internacional, pero requieren políticas estables e inversión sostenida para consolidar su competitividad en el contexto regional y global.
