Methods: a study was carried out with a quantitative, basic, observational, descriptive level and retrospective design approach that evaluated 1954 theses carried out by undergraduate students registered on the Cybertesis web portal, from 2010 to 2018. The variables were analyzed: productivity by faculty / professional school, time and place of publication, experience of the advisor and gender of the thesis students.

The average time it took to publish a thesis in scientific article format was 1.72 ± 1.05 years. 124 (92.5%) published theses presented consultants who participated in scientific publications. In 133 articles (99.3%) the students were the main authors. 123 theses (91.8%) appeared in Peruvian scientific journals. 6.9% of theses supported were published in original article format; the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was the one with the greatest scientific production.
Conclusions: the study carried out allowed diagnosing the percentage of published theses with respect to the sustained ones, which provides a tool for its increase from studies where the causes that affect the found percentages are delimited.
