OSADA, Jorge; LOYOLA-SOSA, Steev  e  RUIZ-GROSSO, Paulo. Publicación de trabajo de conclusión de curso de estudiantes de medicina de una universidad peruana. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2014, vol.38, n.03, pp.308-313. ISSN 1981-5271.

Objective: To describe the characteristics and time to publish research for obtaining a degree in medicine at a private Peruvian medical school. Methods: Data was collected from research work for medicine degrees from a Peruvian university published between 2006 and 2008. A systematic review of the studies was conducted by two of the authors using Pubmed, BVS and Google Scholar. Likewise, two authors independently assessed whether the results of the publication corresponded to the original work. Results: Data for 192 research works were collected, 38 (19.79%) of which were published in indexed journals, 32 (84.21%) in Peruvian and 6 (15.79%) in international journals. The average time between writing the dissertation and its publication was 10.55 quarters (31.65 months, SD: 4.14 quarters ± 12.42 months). No significant statistical association was found between the variables. Conclusion: The frequency and timing of these publications is comparable to publications by graduate students described in the literature. Although the quality of the information and other factors were not considered, the publication of research would not seem to be related to a higher academic level of the authors. It is important to improve the processes associated with research and to encourage this practice from the early stages of professional training.
