Objective. To characterize how research trends and open science practices are reflected in the scientific output of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences and Health Sciences, according to the Dimensions database taxonomy, while exploring the intellectual and social structure of these domains. Method. This is an exploratory and descriptive study employing bibliometric techniques, social network analysis, and thematic analysis. The Dimensions database was used as the data source. Production indicators were analyzed, and three relational analyses were performed: title word co-occurrence, author bibliographic coupling, and document co-citation. Network maps were generated using VOSviewer. Results. Scientific production has increased steadily since 2020. Key topics include transparency, openness, reproducibility, and data sharing. Research trends highlight the evaluation of open science practices in institutions and journals, as well as adherence to transparency guidelines. Identified practices include publication in gold open access journals, preprints, and preregistration of study protocols on the Open Science Framework. Conclusions. The findings reflect a gradual shift in research culture toward greater transparency and sharing of all components of the research cycle. There is evidence of growing adherence to practices such as preregistration of study protocols and data sharing on open platforms.
