Abstract

Objectives: A bibliometrics study is a type of statistical study on scientific data. With this tool we want to visualize different aspects of biosimilar drugs, their importance and the impact they generate in their environment.

Methods: Science Direct was utilized as a search engine, in addition to the scientific publications referenced in the bibliography as well as some websites concerning the subject.

Results: Almost all the indicators point to the great economic importance of biosimilar drugs, their novelty and their patient-coentered focus.

Conclusions: It is of great interest to know the future impact that these medicines will have and the repercussions they will bring, especially in the economic and health fields.
