Objective: The Caribbean zone presents several epidemiological specificities that constitute major public health issues. The objective of this study is to provide a combined information from different types (bibliometric data, regulatory aspects, research Funding…), to researchers and research institutions in the Caribbean to facilitate collaboration and the development of research production in the region.
Methods: - Bibliometric analyses will be performed with the analytic tool Web Of Science. The search period for all scientific publications by country will cover the period from 1990 to 2022. - Regulatory aspects : presentation of the different regulatory approaches specific to each country by type of research project - Connecting support team : Bringing research support units closer together in order to share support methods for researchers and thus improve knowledge of the organization of the various research units.
Results: With the bibliometric results, we will obtain for each 5-year period, the evolution and the specificity of publications produced by 18 Caribbean countries organized by quantitative and performance indicators. An atlas of each regulatory process by country in the Caribbean will be available by type of research with all mandatory documents to submit. Several exchanges of practices between the research support unites in the region could give place to a uniform descriptive card allowing the various institutions and researchers to project themselves on collaborations by knowing better the environment
Conclusion: Collaborations between our neighboring countries are undoubtedly the key to success in research in order to reduce the burden of health care issues.
