Perspectivas a la producción científica del Ecuador

This academic article arises from the need to know with objective figures the rates of scientific writing that takes place in Ecuador with respect to other countries such as: Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Mexico and Spain. The importance of this survey lies in reflecting on this topic, based on a review of international publication databases such as: SCOPUS, Scielo and SJR. The methodology used is inductive - deductive and supported by a bibliographic investigation using the quantitative observation method. There is previous research on the subject, however, most have not considered a quantitative comparisonof the Ecuadorian publication with other nations. In addition, the relationship between scientific production and public policies has been avoided. In order to solve the neglect of this issue, were considered the regulations given by lead agencies of education quality such as National Secretariat of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (SENESCYT) and Council for Quality Assurance of Higher Education (CACES).

This allowed to obtain results that show a low scientific production in Ecuador, which, despite its increase in recent years, has not been representative in relation to other countries. For this reason, the present investigation implies the consideration of laws and quantitative data to overcome the low index of Ecuador concerning the academic writing.
