Resumen
Objective: The scientific production of universities plays a fundamental role in the progress and development of society. These institutions are engines of knowledge and the generation of new ideas, contributing significantly to the advancement of science and technology. In this regard, the aim of the present research was to analyze the scientific production of six universities in southeastern Peru in the Scopus database. Method: The research was bibliometric and retrospective in nature, in which the scientific production of UNAMAD, UAC, UNSAAC, UNIQ, UNA, and UNAJ was described through the analysis of documents indexed in Scopus. Results: It was found that UNSAAC and UNA had a higher scientific production in Scopus, with 1060 and 645 documents, respectively. Likewise, it was found that both universities significantly increased their scientific production in the last decade and had the highest number of research faculty registered in RENACYT. Similarly, it was determined that the main thematic areas linked to the documents indexed in Scopus were Social Sciences and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Finally, it was confirmed that the predominant document types in all universities were original articles, conference papers, and review articles, which were primarily published in English and Spanish. Conclusions: In recent years, the scientific production of universities in southeastern Peru in the Scopus database has increased significantly; however, it still remains limited and insufficient when compared to the more competitive universities in the country.
