Abstract
MENDEZ OCHAITA, Margarita Flor and REMEDI ALLIONE, Eduardo. The origins of a Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) research group: A 'beachhead' configuration. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2016, vol.45, n.180, pp.89-107. ISSN 0185-2760. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resu.2016.07.002.
This article analyzes the origins of a physiology research group at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), tracking their academic careers in order to understand the cultural, normative and cognitive elements that shaped an institutional research model established in the mid-1970s. This research contributes to the study of scientific organizations in Mexico, through the reconstruction of researchers' careers. It adopts an institutional analysis approach focused on the academic level of the subjects and their disciplinary group. This approach reveals the role of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in forming an elite group of young researchers alongside experienced researchers, who have served as the pillars of the disciplinary group since its inception.
