OCHOA TORRES, Rolando José; PALACIOS SANCHEZ, Karina  and  FELIPE OCHOA AZZE, Rolando. Analysis of causes of the insufficient number of national publications in VacciMonitor journal. ACIMED [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.4, pp.413-429. ISSN 1024-9435.

VacciMonitor is a scientific journal specialized in vaccines, belonging to "Finlay Ediciones", unique with those characteristics in Latin America. However, there are few articles published by Cuban researchers, which restrict the achievements spreading that in that sector of the science our country has obtained. Therefore, we propose to identify the reasons by which the national researchers do not publish in it, by means of written questionnaires applied to 40 researchers of scientific and health centers selected in four provinces. VacciMonitor, the leading product of "Finlay Ediciones", has wide potentialities, and it is indexed in numerous international databases, it must reach the most important ones in this field to make it more attractive between the researchers. The journal's virtues are little known in the national academic field, main reason for which the national researchers do not publish, neither they are motivated for it.
