Context:

Ingeniería is a scientific journal edited in Colombia by Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, publishing multi-disciplinary research across all fields of engineering. The aim of this paper is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of its scientific output during the period 2010-2017.

Method:

A corpus of 144 published papers were examined, their bibliographic metadata collected, and several bibliometric analysis were conducted, including productivity, authorship, citation, subject and geographic coverage, along with collaboration networks, thematic conceptual maps and impact metrics.

Results:

Some of our findings include: the average citations per article is 2.1, the collaboration index is 2.22, the output growth rate is 19 %, h-index of h = 10, g-index of g = 13, hi5-index of hi5 = 9, total cites are 298, there are 10 strongly connected cluster of authors, and 4 thematic clusters obtained from co-ocurrence analysis of the keywords and abstracts.

Conclusions:

The profile of the journal regarding citation and impact metrics is promising, although it needs to improve its visibility and recognition, as locality of coverage and authorship metrics as well as incipient thematic areas seem to suggest. Extending its authorship base to broader collaboration networks is also desirable.
