Revisión cienciométrica de la producción académica de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas.

Abstract

This report presents the results of the analysis of the academic production of the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas during the 2015–2025 period, with the aim of identifying trends, capacities, and strategic areas for research development. The study is based on the integration of data from the ScienTI-Colombia platform and international databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and OpenAlex. Through analytical visualizations, the distribution of research outputs by typology, the temporal evolution of production, and the main topics addressed by researchers are examined using co-occurrence network analysis of key terms. The findings highlight an institutional trajectory characterized by the strengthening of knowledge generation, the social appropriation of research outcomes, and the articulation among the university’s core functions. Additionally, potential knowledge fields are identified, derived from the consolidation and updating of thematic focuses, as well as emerging areas, which may inform the revision of the Agenda Viva de Investigaciones and support institutional decision-making in research promotion and policy.
