ABSTRACT

A descriptive study was carried out in a sample of 58 users of the journal MEDISAN who lacked the basic skills as for its processing in the from September, 2014 to February, 2015, with the objective of contributing to their literacy and that of the whole staff involved in this process (reviewers, editors and referees), for which a tutorial was elaborated in the intranet and internet spaces, with the use of diverse tools of free software. It was divided into 5 stages, and in the second one it was necessary to follow 5 fundamental steps: details, policy, sendings, management and appearance. By means of this tutorial, skills, adaptation, understanding and evaluation of the emergent technology, were achieved, which was demonstrated with the increment of a greater number of users. It is concluded that this platform is an impact contribution for the scientific community either from Cuba or from other countries.
