Docencia, investigación y producción científica. Tres puntas del triángulo de la calidad de la enseñanza superior

Abstract:

While extending a warm greeting, we are writing to congratulate, through you, the authors of the article entitled “Scientific production in the Medicine Faculties of Colombia in the last 15 years”.(1) In this work, the volume of scientific production of Colombian universities in the area of medicine during the past 15 years is determined by analyzing the SCOPUS database.(2) This type of studies is highly relevant today, if we consider that research is associated, now more than ever, with the quality of teaching (3) and that this can be indirectly measured through intellectual and scientific production.(4, 5) We think it is appropriate to add that one of the biggest obstacles to increasing scientific production in Latin American universities is writing scientific articles, as it is considered a part of research methodology in most of the countries of the region, although it is generally not addressed exhaustively or as an independent thematic unit.(6)
