Scientific production expresses the knowledge resulting from intellectual work through scientific research in a given area of knowledge, whether or not it belongs to the academic field, which contributes to the development of science as a social activity. It contributes to the development of science because in its historical development it is associated with its results, among others with its publications, which are nothing more than a form of existence of science itself, and with the professional development of researchers. New knowledge originating from research activities is traditionally transmitted through publications, mainly as journal articles, in order to facilitate their dissemination to the scientific community, to serve as a basis for new knowledge and to gain recognition for their authors. Such publications are, therefore, a measure of the research carried out. But nowadays, it is just as important to know where to publish as it is to know where to publish. Journals indexed in international databases such as Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and Medline are examples of this. One of the most important aspects for a researcher is to be able to present and publicize the results of his or her studies within the academic community, so it is not only very important to know how to write a scientific article but also where it could be published. A better regional positioning of Latin American universities depends, to a large extent, on a higher per capita productivity in terms of publications and a greater impact of these, measured in citations (Scimago Journal Ranks / Scopus, Journal Citation Reports / WoS).
