Abstract

This article advances a research agenda from analyzing the state of the Venezuelan scientific production, to promote its recovery and boosting it. Bibliometric indicators extracted from Scopus, Sci-Val, Scimago and Web of science are used to diagnose Venezuela’s ranking and its variations during the past years. We include suggestions to develop a completer and more effective diagnostic, and strategies that may aid in reverting the situation.
