Abstract
En este artículo se presenta un análisis sobre el sistema de publicación de
resultados científicos, con especial énfasis en la valoración que la
comunidad académica local hace de los mismos. Basada en una extensa
recopilación de antecedentes, se incluye una detallada perspectiva desde la
óptica de los distintos actores, tomando en cuenta diversas facetas de la
problemática y la situación actual a escalas global y nacional. Se sostiene
que la publicación de los resultados de las investigaciones debidamente
evaluadas por pares constituye un procedimiento insustituible –aunque no el
único- para la validación y difusión de las ciencias. Finalmente, concluye en
que la práctica de publicar en nuestro país y en países con similar grado de
desarrollo, ha sido, y está siendo, contaminado por causas externas que
impactan negativamente, entre otros aspectos, sobre la dirección de las
investigaciones en relación con los intereses nacionales y regionales.
In this article, an analysis on the publication system of scientific results, with special emphasis in the assessment that the local academic community does of them, is made. Based on an extensive compilation of antecedents, it includes a detailed perspective from the point of view of the different actors, taking into account diverse facets of this problematic and its present situation at global and national scales. It states that the publication of the results of the investigations properly evaluated by pairs constitutes an irreplaceable procedure - although not the only one - for the validation and the diffusion of sciences. Finally, it is concluded that the practice of publishing in our country and countries with similar degree of development, has been, and is being, contaminated by external causes that impact negatively, among other aspects, on the direction of the researches in relation to the national and regional interests.
