dc.description.abstract	Background: The research of alcohol-consumption-related problems is a multidisciplinary field. The aim of this study is to analyze the worldwide scientific production in the area of alcohol-drinking & alcohol-related problems from 2005-2009. Methods: A Medline and Scopus search on alcohol (alcohol-drinking & alcohol-related problems) published from 2005-2009 was carried out. Using bibliometric indicators, the distribution of the publications was determined within the journals that publish said articles, specialty of the journal (broad subject terms), article type, language of the publication, and country where the journal is published. Also, authorship characteristics were assessed (collaboration index and number of authors who have published more than nine documents). The existing research groups were also determined. Results: 24,100 documents on alcohol, published in 3,862 journals, and authored by 69,640 authors were retrieved from Medline and Scopus for between the years 2005-2009. The collaboration index of the articles was 4.83±3.7. The number of consolidated research groups in the field was identified as 383, with 1,933 authors. Documents on alcohol were published mainly in journals covering the field of “Substance-Related Disorders”, 23.18%, followed by “Medicine”, 8.7%, “Psychiatry”, 6.17%, and “Gastroenterology”, 5.25%. Conclusions: Research on alcohol is a consolidated field, with an average of 4,820 documents published each year between 2005 and 2009 in Medline and Scopus. Alcohol related publications have a marked multidisciplinary nature. Collaboration was common among alcohol researchers. There is an underrepresentation of alcohol related publications in languages other than English and from developing countries, in Medline and Scopus databases.	es
