Resumen

En Colombia la investigación astronómica está experimentando un crecimiento acelerado. Para comprender mejor su evolución y estado actual, realizamos un estudio bibliométrico utilizando el Astrophysics Data System (ADS) y la Web of Science (WoS). En el ADS encontramos 422 publicaciones arbitradas desde 1980, año de la primera publicación, hasta 2023, año de corte del estudio. De las 25 instituciones colombianas con al menos una publicación, 14 son de origen privado y 11 son estatales. Más de la mitad de ellas se concentran en dos ciudades: Bogotá, con 11 instituciones, seguida por Medellín, con tres. Se destaca el número de contribuciones de cuatro universidades: la Universidad de los Andes, la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, la Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS) y la Universidad de Antioquia (UdeA), con 104, 78, 68 y 67 publicaciones, respectivamente. Al cruzar la información del ADS y la WoS, encontramos que las áreas con las publicaciones de mayor impacto son tres: altas energías y física fundamental, estrellas y física estelar, y galaxias y cosmología. Según la WoS, Colombia se encuentra en el puesto 52 a nivel global en cantidad de publicaciones arbitradas entre 2019 y 2023, y en quinto lugar en América Latina. Además, encontramos tres publicaciones muy citadas (ubicadas en el 1 % a nivel mundial) pertenecientes al área de cosmología observacional.
