After providing a historical overview of how Latin American private universities have evolved to become successful research producers, Gregorutti and Delgado analyze specific institutional reforms carried out to overcome cultural resistance to change and implementation of policies related to teaching load, productivity requirements, patent generation, technology transfer, and funding mechanisms that support and stimulate faculty research activities.

That advance is attributed to global, regional, and national pressures and trends, as well as a response to obstacles that scholars/researchers from the region face to be published in prestigious journals and journals to be included in mainstream indexes. This had not been studied at the institutional level, that is, the universities where most of the journals are published. PURPOSE: Analyze policies, arrangements, and actions that Chilean, Colombian, and Venezuelan universities have implemented to support the publication of journals in response to global, regional, and national trends and pressures. METHODS: This qualitative study analyzed 24 interviews conducted with journal editors, university authorities, and national experts from 12 universities in Chile, Colombia, and Venezuela. The model of allomorphism developed by Massimiliano Vaira (2004) was used to analyze the findings. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1) all universities in the study have developed policies and arrangements to support the publication of journals, including funding, training, and open access electronic publication. 2) Editors’ workload has increased and their job is considered very important; however, it is not recognized in salary systems. 3) Institutional actors participating in the publication of journals are emerging: university journal coordinators, libraries, ICT units, and to a less extent, press units. 4) National factors influencing the publication of journals include political context, university accreditation, journal evaluation systems, ranking and/or funding systems, and university salary systems. 5) Regional directories, repositories, and indexes published in local languages have influenced the growth of journals (Latindex, RedALyC, SciELO, CLACSO, etc.). 7) International organizations, in particular the IADB, have given loans to the countries to develop science and technology. 8) Even though regional initiatives have gained relevance, Thomson Reuters’ indexes are still considered reference standards. However, new international actors/initiatives such as Scopus by Elsevier, the Open Journal System by the Public Knowledge Project, and other repositories and directories are becoming alternatives. 8) The imposition of publication models based on natural sciences, pressures to increase exogamy of publications, and languages barriers are still sources of tension.

It responds to questions related to the current situation and recent changes in the indicators of science and technology and scientific publication in the region, types of actors and institutions responsible for the scientific production, and participation of tertiary education institutions in science and technology. Results suggest that even though there is an increase in the participation of LA&C as a region and by individual countries (and even institutions) in the global production and dissemination of knowledge, there is still work to be done in order to be more competitive at the global level and make knowledge more accessible to all the individuals in the society. Universities are responsible for most of the research production in the region; therefore, policies intended to increase their capacity must be enforced. In addition, the...

The claim is that the US took the idea of research university from the German model and has developed it with the support of the government for matters of national interest, the participation of the productive sector, and the advancement of academic/scientific profession and communities, while in LAC, universities have been typically teaching-oriented institutions and research has not been given a relevant role or value for national development. However, in the last decades LAC universities are been challenged to advance their research mission and to contribute to the countries' development in the globalized knowledge-based economies. The manuscript is divided into four sections: (1) a brief analysis of higher education and research in the context of market-oriented economy is presented; (2) the history of US higher education and research; (3) evolution of post-secondary education and research in LAC; and, (4) some proximities and contrasts between the LAC and US university research.

Topics cover sterilization, operative and multidisciplinary management, oral anatomy, diagnostics, oral pathology, oral medicine, oral epidemiology, oral health and quality of life, dental anthropology, and disability. Countries of origin are Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Venezuela, and Colombia. With the consolidation of the publication entirely in English language and a rolling-volume frequency the journal aspires to increase its international visibility and impact. In 2022, volume 41 of Universitas Odontologica will be devoted to celebrating its 40th anniversary of foundation.

El envejecimiento es una tendencia creciente en las sociedades humanas de todo el mundo para la cual las instituciones y los servicios de todo tipo deben estar preparados para satisfacer las necesidades de las poblaciones de edad avanzada. La investigación sobre el envejecimiento abarca desde estudios experimentales de laboratorio que buscan comprender y modificar el envejecimiento desde niveles celulares hasta organismos, hasta cómo la atención a las personas y las comunidades debe adaptarse y crear las condiciones para ayudar a estas poblaciones. Tres artículos componen el dossier que abordan temas relacionados con patologías orales, uso de aparatos protésicos, función y experiencia profesional al trabajar con poblaciones envejecidas. Aun así, muchas preguntas sobre el tema no fueron abordadas por los estudios recibidos. Por lo tanto...

Se reconoce la contribución que estos sistemas han hecho para mejorar la calidad de publicaciones y artículos pero enfatiza la necesidad de involucrar las comunidades académicas para determinar el valor del conocimiento y los procesos para generarlo. Se reflexiona también sobre el contexto de la investigación odontológica, las estrategias que Universitas Odontologica ha empleado para cumplir su misión y visión, y sus desafíos como revista institucional pequeña en odontología.

El autor analiza las estrategias que la revista Universitas Odontologica ha implementado para internacionalizarse. Ellas incluyen la publicación electrónica de libre acceso, la creación de comités con amplia participación de miembros de instituciones internacionales y la publicación de dossiers temáticos con editores invitados de diferentes países. Dichas estrategias parecen no ser suficientes en este momento para que los artículos de la revista sean más citados en otras publicaciones. Una mayor citación es un imperativo de cara al nuevo sistema de evaluación de revistas de Colombia. Las dos posibles opciones son quedarse como una revista institucional o continuar el proceso de posicionamiento internacional. Este último involucraría dar el paso a convertirse en una revista bilingüe y asegurar los recursos financieros y organizacionales necesarios.ABSTRACT.
