How to Increase the Production of Scientific Articles Published in Indexed Journals

Abstract

In the current issue of the Revista de la Facultad de Medicina the article “Scientific Production by the Academic Departments of the School of Medicine, Universidad Nacional de Colombia. 2000-2012” (1), in which some indicators related to science, innovation and technology developed in our Faculty can be observed, stands out. It is worth noting that the production of scientific articles per full-time professor was close to one per year, thus, if the School of Medicine of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia wants to position itself as the best in Colombia and one of the bests at Latin America (2), it is necessary to increase the productivity of master and doctorate dissertations that can be used as basis for writing original articles that can be published in indexed journals.
