La formación de competencias para la publicación científica en actores universitarios

Abstract

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development demands the conception of a university committed to the cultural transformation of the societies to which it serves. Substantive processes contribute to change management through initiatives that are localized inall fields of knowledge. However, the culture of scientific communication among university stakeholders remains insufficient in several Latin American countries. This study aimed to design and implement a postgraduate course aimed at building competenciesfor scientific publishing among faculty and researchers at the Instituto Especializado de Profesionales de la Salud [Specialized Institute of Health Professionals] and to disseminate its results, with the goal of promoting its systematization in similar contexts as an effective training alternative. The research was of a descriptive cross-sectional nature and was conducted at the Instituto Especializado de Profesionales de la Salud in El Salvador in 2022, as part of the enhancement of their substantive processes in favor of quality and inclusive higher education. Within the significant results, 45 scientific articles were achieved, of which 30 were accepted in scientific journals indexed in reputable regional databases. It is concluded that the postgraduatecourse is feasible and can be systematized in specific contexts as an alternative for building communicative competencies for publishing purposes among university stakeholders.
