A propósito de la revisión por pares y el factor de impacto
Keywords:
revisión por pares, publish or perish, factor de impacto,Abstract
Muchos editoriales y artículos han sido dedicados al análisis del proceso de revisión por pares (peer reviews) en cuanto parte constitutiva del trabajo editorial de las revistas científicas. Dicho proceso es tan importante -y polémico al mismo tiempo que en 60 años de uso aún se discute si asegura realmente la calidad científica de los artículos publicados por las revistas. Hoy en día, la gran mayoría de revistas científicas acogemos el sistema como si siguiéramos a pie juntillas la famosa frase de Churchill: la democracia es el peor sistema de gobierno diseñado por el hombre con excepción de todos los demás.
