description Women have experienced many difficulties in order to get involved in a reserach activity. Despite the efforts, they maintain lower levels of representation at a worldwide level. For example, their engagement to science, publications registration, trustworthiness of their work, and participation in highly cited papers representation in the scientific literature has traditionally been very low. In Mexico, the 2021 report of the National System of Researchers evidenced that the acceptance of women (38 %) is lower than that of men. The purpose of the present study was to determine the participation of women affiliated to Mexican institutions in highly cited research papers, as well as, to identify the areas of knowledge with the largest female representation. We have performed a cuantitative bibliometric analysis in the Web of Science database to retrieve the papers that have received at least 800 citations. We identified 232 papers with this characteristic, but only 73 of them were considered since they involved at least one woman affiliated to Mexican institutions. Most of this production involved co-authorship, above all large collaborations with female and male authors. The largest production was published between 2006 and 2015. Biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology were the predominant areas of knowledge. The leading institutions involved in this research production were the Ministry of Health, the Mexican National Autonomous University and Cinvestav. The female Mexican scientists with the longest research experience, were the ones who opened the spaces for integration and participation in the most highly cited works.

Las mujeres han atravesado por muchas dificultades para integrarse en la investigación, pese a los esfuerzos, a nivel mundial mantienen menor representación en diversos aspectos, por ejemplo, en la incursión en la ciencia, registro de publicaciones, credibilidad a su trabajo científico y participación en los artículos científicos más citados. En México, el Sistema Nacional de Investigadores, en su reporte de 2021, evidenció que la aceptación de mujeres es baja (38 %), comparada con la de los hombres. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la participación de mujeres investigadoras adscritas a instituciones mexicanas en los trabajos más citados, así como, determinar las áreas donde las investigadoras están sobresaliendo. Se desarrolló un análisis bibliométrico cuantitativo, tomando como elemento base a la referencia bibliográfica. La búsqueda se realizó en la base de datos Web of Science, considerando como más citados, aquellos que hayan recibido al menos 800 citas. Se identificaron 232 publicaciones con un mínimo de 800 citas, de las cuales se tomaron en cuenta 73, porque integran al menos una mujer como autora adscrita a una institución nacional. Predominaron las coautorías, sobre todo, las grandes colaboraciones con presencia de mujeres y hombres. Entre 2006 y 2015 se difundió el mayor número de trabajos. Las áreas de bioquímica, genética y biología molecular predominaron. La adscripción institucional fue principalmente a dependencias de la Secretaría de Salud, la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México y el Cinvestav. Las científicas mexicanas con mayor experiencia en la investigación fueron las que abrieron los espacios para la integración y participación en los trabajos altamente citados.
