Introduction: The main objective of this work is to analyze, from a bibliometric point of view, the journal Ars Pharmaceutica in the time interval between the years 2014 and 2023, given the existence of previous studies prior to that period.
Method: The study focuses on the estimation of average authorship and time of acceptance of an article, distribution by scientific typology and by thematic areas of the published works, distribution by countries and institutions of origin of the works and incidence of the gender in authorship. The statistical analysis has been based on non-parametric contrasts and trend analysis.
Results: The average number of authors per article is 4, lower than that of journals in the Pharmacy & Pharmacology field, and has remained stable throughout the period under study; The areas that concentrate the greatest number of contributions are Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmacy, Pharmaceutical Care and Pharmacology; almost 80 % of the works come from Spain (45.62 %) and Ibero-American countries (33.46 %); and, finally, that the percentage of male authors is significantly higher than that of female authors (p=0.036).
Conclusion: Ars Pharmaceutica is a journal that, despite publishing articles mostly in Spanish, is consolidating itself as an international journal, appearing since 2018 in the Journal of Citation Reports, initially with Journal Citation Indicator and, since 2022, with Journal Impact Factor.
