ABSTRACT

Academic publishing is one of the most effective and important ways in which physicians can share findings, clinical experiences, and updates for the purpose of performing evidence-based medicine. In plastic surgery, there is literature that analyzes scientific productivity worldwide, but the scientific productivity of Mexican surgeons in high impact journals remains unknown. For this reason, a search was performed for articles published in a period of five years in the journals with the highest impact related to the field of plastic surgery, in which authors belonged to a Mexican institution. The outcome was 61 articles, which were published in 13 of the 20 journals with the highest impact, 144 authors participated. We conclude that it would be advisable for academic programs and national associations to promote strategies that encourage scientific publication in high level journals, in order to increase our impact and the acquisition of knowledge that benefit medical practice.
