LOPEZ-LEYVA, Santos; ALVARADO-BORREGO, Aída  and  MUNGARAY-MOCTEZUMA, Ana Bárbara. The diffusion of science in Mexico through scientific papers. Conditions and contexts. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2018, vol.47, n.188, pp.157-176. ISSN 0185-2760.

This paper examines the production of Mexican researchers and it analyzes the behavior of Mexican publications in the information banks SCOPUS and Web of Science. Mexico has grown in world science in number of articles but, not in quality indicators. A questionnaire was applied to 373 researchers where the main reason for researchers to publish is the strengthening of science and institutions; they point out that universities should implement workshops with graduate students; lack of time to research and write is the main barrier in the publication. The researchers know journals for their publications.

Keywords : Scientific paper; Scientific diffusion; Peer review; Scientific research; Academic researcher.
