LOPEZ LEYVA, Santos. Visibilidad del conocimiento mexicano. La participación de las publicaciones científicas mexicanas en el ámbito internacional. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2011, vol.40, n.158, pp.151-165. ISSN 0185-2760.

This study examines the international visibility of the scientific knowledge produced in Mexico and disseminated through journal and scientific articles published by Mexican scientists. It analyzes five information banks. The analysis found a phenomenon of concentration of publications and scientific information in general that affects the visibility of scientific knowledge. Also, it shows the influence of institutions and elements such as language, scientific fields, and evaluation mechanisms which constitute barriers to visibility. In this scenario, an Open Access movement has emerged to promote free access to scientific knowledge.

Keywords : Knowledge visibility; Scientific dissemination; Scientific journals; Scientific production; Information banks.
