Abstract

BACKGROUND

Many medical schools require a student thesis before graduation. Publishing results in a peer-reviewed journal could be an indicator of scientific value and acceptability by the scientific community. The publication pattern of theses published by medical students in Peru is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics and publication pattern of theses in biomedical-indexed journals conducted by medical students in a university with the highest research output in Peru.

METHODS

Data from registered theses between 2000 and 2003 were obtained from the university library. Publication of theses in biomedical journals was assessed in 2008 by a search strategy using PubMed, Google Scholar, LILACS, LIPECS and SciELO.

RESULTS

Four hundred and eighty-two medical theses were registered between 2000 and 2003; 85 (17.6%) were published in biomedical-indexed journals. Of the published theses, 28 (5.8%) were published in MEDLINE-indexed journals, 55 (11.4%) in SciELO-indexed journals, 61 (12.6%) in LILACS-indexed journals and 68 (14.1%) in LIPECS-indexed journals. Most of the published theses (80%) were in Spanish and published in Peruvian journals; and 17 theses (20%) were published in foreign journals (all of them indexed in MEDLINE). In addition, 37 (43.5%) belong primarily to internal medicine, and 24 (28.2%) belong primarily to infectious diseases. Medical students were first authors in 71 (83.5%) of the articles.

CONCLUSION

In this study, most of the published theses were in Spanish, published in local journals and indexed in LIPECS. The percentage of published theses in biomedical journals at this university is comparable with others coming from developed countries.

摘要

背景

许多医学院要求学生在毕业前撰写论文。在同行评审期刊上发表研究结果可以作为其科学价值和被科学界接受程度的指标。秘鲁医学生发表论文的发表模式尚不清楚。本研究旨在评估秘鲁一所科研产出最高的大学的医学生发表在生物医学索引期刊上的论文的特征和发表模式。

方法

从大学图书馆获取 2000 年至 2003 年期间注册的论文数据。2008 年，通过使用 PubMed、Google Scholar、LILACS、LIPECS 和 SciELO 的搜索策略评估了生物医学期刊上论文的发表情况。

结果

2000 年至 2003 年期间共注册了 482 篇医学论文，其中 85 篇（17.6%）发表在生物医学索引期刊上。在已发表的论文中，28 篇（5.8%）发表在 MEDLINE 索引期刊上，55 篇（11.4%）发表在 SciELO 索引期刊上，61 篇（12.6%）发表在 LILACS 索引期刊上，68 篇（14.1%）发表在 LIPECS 索引期刊上。大多数已发表的论文（80%）是西班牙语，发表在秘鲁期刊上；有 17 篇（20%）发表在国外期刊上（均被 MEDLINE 索引）。此外，37 篇（43.5%）主要属于内科，24 篇（28.2%）主要属于传染病。71 篇文章（83.5%）的第一作者是医学生。
