Five obstacles are described that currently prevent Spanish researchers in the psychological sciences from publishing more frequently in journals of high impact factor. These are: a) a general lack of confidence in your ability; b) a tendency for your papers to be driven more by speculation rather than data; c) excessive length of submitted manuscripts; d) higher than expected rates of drop-out and non-participation in studies, and e) lack of independence from pharmaceutical companies. Although many of these problems will require long-term structural changes, others can be addressed immediately and yield improvement rapidly.
文中描述了五个目前阻碍西班牙心理学领域研究人员更频繁地在高影响因子期刊上发表论文的障碍。它们分别是：a）对自身能力普遍缺乏信心；b）论文往往更多地受推测而非数据驱动；c）提交的手稿篇幅过长；d）研究中的退出率和不参与率高于预期；e）对制药公司缺乏独立性。虽然其中许多问题需要长期的结构性变革，但其他一些问题可以立即得到解决并迅速带来改善。
