Writing has dramatically evolved in the world; however, qualification of scientific production in Colombia has not, including the improper use of decree 1444/93 and 1279/02. The last of these decrees authorized Colciencias, the Colombian government institute created to support scientific research in Colombia, to establish rules for its implementation. Colciencias decided to evaluate scientific papers produced in Colombia based on the non-scientific method of the "impact factor", and considered that citations in MEDLINE/PubMed and PsylNFO were second line publications thus violating Colombian law. This affects not only the progress of scientific research in Colombia but also researchers' income and puts Colombia's scientific journals and publications at great disadvantage. Scientific papers indexed in qualified databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed must be judged according to law in order to prevent further injuries to the developing Colombian scientific production.
写作在世界范围内发生了巨大演变；然而，哥伦比亚对科研成果的评定却没有，包括对第1444/93号和1279/02号法令的不当使用。这些法令中的最后一项授权了哥伦比亚科学技术委员会（Colciencias），这是为支持哥伦比亚的科学研究而设立的哥伦比亚政府机构，来制定其实施规则。哥伦比亚科学技术委员会决定基于“影响因子”这种非科学方法来评估在哥伦比亚产生的科学论文，并认为被MEDLINE/PubMed和PsylNFO收录的文献属于二线出版物，因此违反了哥伦比亚法律。这不仅影响了哥伦比亚科学研究的进展，也影响了研究人员的收入，还使哥伦比亚的科学期刊和出版物处于极大的劣势。必须依法评判被MEDLINE/PubMed等合格数据库收录的科学论文，以防止对发展中的哥伦比亚科研成果造成进一步损害。
