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.
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.
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.
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.
科研产出指标有助于大学从数量和质量上评估研究生的出版物，并有助于优化研究过程。本研究旨在确定秘鲁一所私立大学的牙科研究生为获得第二专业职称以及硕士和博士学位而提交的文件在科学期刊上的发表频率，研究时间跨度为七年。
开展了一项横断面研究，以一所秘鲁私立大学提交的、用于获得牙科第二专业职称以及硕士和博士学位的文件记录及相关人员为研究对象，这些文件于2017年至2023年发表在该大学的机构知识库中。主要结果是在科学期刊上发表，协变量包括文件正式提交年份、研究生水平、文件编写方式、根据美国牙科协会划分的牙科专业领域、发表年份、国际索引、影响因子（IF）和四分位数。进行描述性分析以获得绝对频率和相对频率。
2017年至2023年期间，在机构知识库中发表的、用于获得第二专业职称以及硕士和博士学位的322份文件中，有72份在科学期刊上发表。其中，81.94%（n = 59）发表在国际索引科学期刊上，13.56%（n = 8）发表在IF≥2的期刊上，10.18%（n = 6）发表在Q1类期刊上。
在低收入国家，教育与科研产出之间的联系是多方面的。虽然教育是关键催化剂，但众多挑战限制了研究的扩展。尽管面临重大公共卫生问题，但这些国家仅贡献了全球科研产出的2%，凸显了教育水平与研究生产力之间的显著差距。拉丁美洲、亚洲和欧洲各大学之间科研产出的差异是由文化和经济因素共同作用形成的。总之，秘鲁一所私立大学的牙科研究生在七年内提交的、用于获得第二专业职称以及硕士和博士学位的文件中，有22.36%在科学期刊上发表。
