Introduction: The scientific production of universities plays a crucial role in the generation and dissemination of knowledge, as well as in strengthening the position of academic institutions on both national and international levels.
Objective: To evaluate the scientific production in the Scopus database of a public university in southern Peru.
Methods: A bibliometric and retrospective investigation was conducted. Documents indexed in the Scopus database were analyzed by evaluating the quantity of documents, authors, journals where the documents were published, types of documents, language of publication, funding, areas of knowledge to which the documents belong, and co-authorship networks.
Results: A total of 763 indexed documents were identified in the Scopus database, showing a trend towards increased production in recent years. The majority of indexed documents were characterized by being original articles, published in foreign journals and in English language, and self-financed. Additionally, it was observed that more documents were published in the areas of Social Sciences and Agricultural and Biological Sciences.
Conclusions: In recent years, significant growth has been observed in the scientific production in the Scopus database of a public university in southern Peru. Therefore, it is imperative to promote an institutional research culture, focused on the development of research skills, with the purpose of increasing both the quantity and quality of publications.
