SANCHEZ-DUQUE, Jorge A.; GOMEZ-GONZALEZ, José F. y RODRIGUEZ-MORALES, Alfonso J.. Undergraduate publication in Latin America: Difficulties and associated factors among medical students. Investigación educ. médica [online]. 2017, vol.6, n.22, pp.104-108. ISSN 2007-5057. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.riem.2016.07.003.
Introduction
The teaching of scientific research within the undergraduate curriculum is a fundamental aspect in student development, and should be a priority for all universities.
Objective
To identify associated factors in scientific publication among medical students from Latin America.
Method
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The participants of an extracurricular course coordinated by a scientific society responded continuously for 8 weeks to questionnaires designed by the organising committee of the course.
Results
One hundred and forty-one students were included, 79.43% of whom belonged to a scientific society, 48.94% had presented at least one research project at a scientific congress while 19.15% had at least one scientific publication; cross-sectional studies and letters to the editor were the main type of publication, with a prevalence of 37 and 33%, respectively.
Conclusions
The number of publications in which medical students are included in Latin America is low. Membership in scientific societies, mainly those with student journals, increases the probability of having a higher level of scientific production.
