AIM. Bibliometric analysis of neuropaediatrics articles published in Revista de Neurologia and Anales de Pediatria between 2000 and 2009. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We selected neuropaediatrics articles published in two journal during the last decade (n = 1,085). We investigated authorship, topic and bibliography, to calculate indices of isolation, Price, collaboration, productivity, transience and self-citations. Analyze citations received by Web of Knowledge (WOK): articles cited, sometimes cited and h-index. RESULTS. 1,085 articles were analyzed, 255 published in Anales de Pediatria (9.4% of the total in that period) and 830 in Revista de Neurologia (21.7% total). The collaboration index was 4.3. The 89.7% of the authors were medical care (96% hospital staff, 0,8% of primary care staff and 2.9% of both). The 11.9% ??of the articles were collaborative between regions and the 26% came from foreign centers. The originals were 29.8% (80.8% descriptive observational studies, analytical 18.3% and 0.8% clinical trials). The most frequent topics were paroxysmal disorders (15.9%) and developmental, learning and behavioral disorders (15%). The average number of citations per article was 27.6, with an isolation rate of 13.4% and a Price index of 41.7%. The profile of the articles published in both journals is different, finding significant differences in almost all parameters analyzed. According WOK, the 255 items of Anales de Pediatria have received 40 citations and h-index of 3 and the 830 Revista de Neurologia 2,234 citations with h-index of 13. CONCLUSIONS. There are differences in the pediatric neurology publications between the two magazines with more international projection of Revista de Neurologia.
