Resumen
Introducción: La fisiología vegetal tiene un impacto mundial en términos de publicaciones dada la significancia
de sus investigaciones en el desempeño de las plantas, ya sea en sus mecanismos, eficiencia, adaptabilidad,
genética y evolución. Al mismo tiempo, la Revista de Biología Tropical (RBT) es una de las más importantes
revistas científicas originarias dela región neotropical, y este año llega a sus setenta años de creación y publicación
continúa.
Objetivo: Identificar los temas, procedencia, equidad de género e impacto de las publicaciones en RBT en el área
de fisiología vegetal.
Métodos: Se selecionaron todos los artículos de la RBT desde Web of Science entre 2020—2022. De este
grupo de artículos, uno a uno se escogieron los artículos con alguna relación con la fisiología vegetal (n= 170).
Posteriormente, se determinó el número total de citas y el número de artículos por país de afiliación del autor.
Calculamos el índice de equidad de sexo por artículo como el número de autoras entre el total de autores.
Finalmente, se graficaron las frecuencias y se aplicaron análisis de χ2.
Resultados: La fitoquímica predominó con el 25.3% de los artículos, seguido por germinación—semillas (20 %),
cultivo de tejidos—embriogénesis somática—biotecnología (17.6 %) y fisiología del estrés (10.6%). El tópico de
la fenología destacó con la mayor cantidad de citas por artículo (10.33), seguido por fitoquímica (8.98), patología
vegetal y fisiología del estrés (8.57 y 8.56, respectivamente). La mayor parte de las publicaciones provienen de
Costa Rica, seguidas por Colombia y México. Finalmente, solo el 38.6 % de las mujeres participan en publicaciones
de fisiología vegetal.
Conclusiones: Pese al bajo número de publicaciones sobre fisiología vegetal en los últimos 22 años, la RBT sigue
la tendencia internacional sobre los tópicos actualmente investigados y representa un recurso importante para la
difusión en estos temas de los países neotropicales. Finalmente, las publicaciones en fisiología vegetal del siglo
XXI continúan con una menor representación femenina.
What, from where, and by whom has been published in plant physiology in the Revista de Biología Tropical? [2000-2022]. Introduction: Plant physiology has a global impact in terms of publications given the significance of its research on the performance of plants, whether in their mechanisms, efficiency, adaptability, genetics, and evolution. At the same time, Revista de Biología Tropical (RBT) is one of the most important scientific journals originating from the neotropical region, and this year it reaches its seventy years of creation and continuous publication. Objective: To identify the topics, provenance, gender equity, and impact of the RBT publications in plant physiology. Methods: We selected all RBT articles from Web of Science between 2000-2022. From this group of articles, one by one we chose articles with some relation to plant physiology (n= 170). Subsequently, we determined the total number of citations per article by the number of articles per author’s country of affiliation. We calculated the sex equity index per article as the number of female authors among the total authors. Finally, we plotted the frequencies and applied χ2 analysis. Results: Phytochemistry predominated with 25.3% of the articles, followed by germination-seedlings (20 %), tissue culture-somatic embryogenesis-biotechnology (17.6 %), and stress physiology (10.6 %). The phenology topic stood out with the highest number of citations per article (10.33), followed by phytochemistry (8.98), plant pathology and stress physiology (8.57 and 8.56, respectively), tissue culture (8.33), and ecomorphology (8.09). Most of the publications were from Costa Rica, followed by Colombia and Mexico. Finally, only 38.6 % of the authors that participate in plant physiology publications are women. Conclusions: Despite the low number of publications on plant physiology in the last 22 years, the RBT follows the international trend on the topics currently investigated and represents an important focus for the dissemination of these topics in Neotropical countries. Finally, plant physiology in the 21st century is still biased towards a low female participation.
