Bibliometrics is an essential tool that allows to evaluate the results of research published in scientific journals.Objectives: To describe the scientific production of CorSalud journal, using different bibliometric indicators.Method: Descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study that evaluated the articles published in the period 2009-2016. Productivity was taken into account by years, countries, authors; articles produced/cited, percentage of inbreeding, occasional or transient authors, transience index, authors' distribution according to productivity, most cited authors, h index, producing institutions, type of articles and keywords.Results: Three hundred eighty-eight articles were published. Year 2013 was the most productive and cited of all. The most productive author was Francisco Luis Moreno Martínez (19 contributions). A 90.7% of publications are by Cuban authors, 137 are transient for a transience index of 35.3%; 97% are small producers. H index is scarce. The greatest contribution of articles was from the Cardiocentro Ernesto Che Guevara, 29% were original works.
