Resumen

ROBAYO-CASTRO, Beatriz; LEONARDO RICO, Javier; HURTADO-PARRADO, Camilo  y  ORTEGA, Leonardo A. Impact and quality of academic production of Colombian researchers in Behavioral Neuroscience using animal models. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.spe5, pp.1-12. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy15-5.icpa.

High-impact academic research productivity in Colombia is limited. The absence of baselines and methodologies for meaningful comparisons with other countries complicates productivity projections from academic institutions. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the impact and quality of the academic productivity of researchers working on behavioral neuroscience using animal models in Colombia. The total population of active researchers in Colombia was described, and a comparative international sample of researchers was determined. Subsequently, for each researcher, we analyzed metrics associated to scientific productivity using Scopus and the journal position in Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR; Scimago Lab) of a sample of published articles. We report that, although there is an important rate of productivity for researchers in Colombia (0.9 articles per year), all aspects related to productivity were notably lower when compared to a sample of international researchers. Analyses of academic productivity in other scientific areas in Colombia may be enriched by the proposed methodology.

Palabras clave : behavioral neuroscience; academic productivity; Colombia; animal models; publication impact.
