Descripción
Sumario:The study aims to analyze the growth rate of scientific production and the citation-based impact of the Chilean University System. The analysis includes 49 571 papers that received 340 534 citations. The method consists of allometric or power law correlation. This is a robust method for comparing the growth rate of scientific production and the citation-based impact of science systems of vastly different sizes. The results show that the growth rate of scientific production and the citation-based impact of Chilean private universities are higher than that of public and public–private universities. The scientific production growth rate of Chilean private universities is 2.25 or 21.17 times with respect to public–private universities and 2.35 or 21.23 times with respect to public universities. The citationbased impact growth rate of Chilean private universities is 6.59 or 22.72 times with respect to the citation impact of public–private universities and 5.78 or 22.53 times with respect to the citation-based impact of public universities.
