BENITEZ MAQUEIRA, Bárbara de la Caridad; PRIA BARROS, María del Carmen; ROJAS OCHOA, Francisco Raúl  e  BARROSO GUTIERREZ, Mercedes. Quality of the Revista Cubana de Medicina General Integral, years 2002 and 2006. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2008, vol.24, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3038.

To improve the quality of the articles received in a scientific journal, it is necessary to have an evaluation process of the estructure of the article and of its writing, and what is even more important of its scientific quality. An observational, descriptive and retrospective study of the volumes 18 and 22 of the Revista Cubana de Medicina General Integral of the above mentioned years was conducted aimed at evaluating and describing some quality parameters. Aspects related to the quality of the articles in this period were evaluated. The most frequent deficiencies were found in the title, the formulation of questions, the objectives and the conclusions. The currentness, relevancy, and the use of international bibliography and of the established norms proved to be adequate. The quality of the journal does not meet the expectations and needs of the health professionals.
