AI Article Synopsis

  • This study investigates the publication practices of postgraduate dentistry students at a private Peruvian university between 2017 and 2023, focusing on their submissions for second professional specialty titles and higher degrees.
  • A total of 322 documents were submitted, with only 72 (22.4%) being published in scientific journals, highlighting a significant gap in research output.
  • The findings show that 81.94% of these publications were in internationally indexed journals, emphasizing the role of education in enhancing scientific productivity, but also pointing out the ongoing challenges faced by low-income countries in contributing to global research.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Scientific production indicators help universities quantitatively and qualitatively assess postgraduate students' publications and contribute to the optimization of research processes. This study aimed to determine the frequency of publication in scientific journals of the documents submitted by postgraduate dentistry students to obtain a second professional specialty title and master's and doctoral degrees at a private Peruvian university over seven years.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, considering the population and the records of documents submitted to obtain the second professional specialty title and the master's and doctoral degrees in dentistry at a private Peruvian university, published in its institutional repository from 2017 to 2023. The primary outcome was publication in scientific journals, and the covariates were the year of formal submission of the document, postgraduate level, modality of document preparation, area of dentistry specialty according to the American Dental Association, year of publication, international indexing, impact factor (IF), and quartile. A descriptive analysis was performed to obtain absolute and relative frequencies.

Results: Between 2017 and 2023, out of 322 documents submitted to receive the second professional specialty title and the master's and doctoral degrees published in the institutional repository, 72 were published in scientific journals. Of these, 81.94% ( = 59) were published in an internationally indexed scientific journal, with 13.56% ( = 8) published in a journal with an IF≥2 and 10.18% ( = 6) in a Q1 category journal.

Discussion: In low-income countries, the nexus between education and scientific output is multifaceted. While education serves as a critical catalyst, numerous challenges constrain the expansion of research. These nations contribute a mere 2% of global scientific production, despite confronting significant public health issues, underscoring a notable discrepancy between educational attainment and research productivity. The disparities in scientific output across universities in Latin America, Asia, and Europe are shaped by a confluence of cultural and economic determinants. In conclusion, 22.36% of the documents submitted to obtain the second professional specialty title and the master's and doctoral degrees by postgraduate dentistry students at a private Peruvian university over seven years were published in scientific journals.
