Abstract
CARDENAS ZEA, Miriam Patricia; REYES PEREZ, Juan José; MENDEZ MARTINEZ, Yuniel and CALANTE GONZALEZ, Abel Pedro. Research projects and their impact on university processes and scientific production. Conrado [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.93, pp. 8-12. Epub July 07, 2023. ISSN 1990-8644.
Universities have been generators of knowledge. Thus, university professors should be integrated into research projects and academic networks of knowledge that allow them to strengthen scientific production. The objective of this study is to analyze the professors’ criteria in their participation in university processes and role in research projects and scientific article production at the Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo, Ecuador. The study was developed under an exploratory-descriptive quantitative approach. For this purpose, a survey was applied to a sample of 30 professors. The main results highlight that the vast majority (96.7%) have participated in some type of research projects with a high representation in cacao (85%), which allowed them to generate scientific articles (70%). Therefore, due to the relevance of increasing scientific production and visibility of research results, the policies that guarantee Faculty financial support, advice and training are crucial.
