GONZALEZ RAMOS, María de los Reyes et al. The behavior of scientific publications. Educ Med Super [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.3. ISSN 0864-2141.

Scientific activity is closely related to other practices of the society if one considers science as a social phenomenon. As it occurs with other social life sectors, the research and publication activities are sensitive to the effects of the socioeconomic events that take place in the context where they are developing. The objective of this research study was to describe the behavior of scientific publications in teaching polyclinics Area VI in Cienfuegos province. The period of study covered 2003 through 2013 and the scientific methods were analytical-synthetic, historical-logical and documentary analysis. The result was the poor development of scientific publications attained by the health professionals of this institution, so the teaching vice-direction and the council of scientific activities decided to prepare and implement a plan of actions to change the present situation, in which they suggested a number of activities to expand the scope of knowledge and to increase abilities in the preparation of scientific articles.
