Abstract

[Spanish abstract]
En varios países de la región las políticas científicas explícitas reconocen que la actividad científica de calidad
radica en los países del norte. De esta manera, el éxito en la carrera científica se relaciona con las publicaciones
del investigador en las mejores revistas, en las más visibles ¿Cómo se determina la visibilidad? El factor de impacto de las revistas (fi) desarrollado en el Institute for Scientific Information (isi) es el auxiliar utilizado con mayor frecuencia para determinar el impacto, uso o relevancia de las revistas científicas. El fi ha sido criticado a lo largo de los años, sin embargo, constituye el recurso más usado.

[English abstract]
In Latin American countries explicit science policies recognise that scientific research is performed mainly in developed countries. Therefore success of scientific careers is often associated with the visibility of the journals in which scientists of the region publish their
reports. ¿How to determine visibility? The Journal Impact Factor (IF) developed at the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) is the most common tool used to determine
the impact, use or relevance of scientific journals. The IF has been criticised over the years, however, it remains the most used way to evaluate scientific journals.
