Revista Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología and the International Standards for Publication in Scientific Journals

Abstract

As a result of the content published in Revista Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecologia the publication is now cited and referenced in ScELO, Lilacs, the Colciencias Permanent Indexing Service, Imbiomed, Gale Cengage Learning, Ebsco, Scopus, Redalyc and ISI (Thomson Reuters), placing it among the best medical publications in this country. The visibility gained by the journal has led to a greater number of applications for publication and also a growing number of contributions from other Latin-American countries and in different languages from Spanish. However, the journal is still awaiting inclusion in databases such as Medline or Embase in order to increase visibility for the authors and their manuscripts. In line with transformations which have become an imperative in the world as a result of global warming and the need to use clean technologies and ensure preservation and conservation of natural resources and optimize electronic communication and immediate availability, Revista Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecologia has started on a journey of transformation and modernization in order to offer its readers the opportunity to access an electronic version with enhanced dissemination, visibility and availability worldwide. This opportunity also poses the challenge of offering top scientific and editorial quality, in line with that of the most important publications in the field of gynaecology and obstetrics in the world. Many of those publications offer on-line material and content for their readers, consistent with individual requests and interest, optimizing time and the use of resources for the users of scientific literature.
