Endogamia editorial en la Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública

Abstract

-

Editorial endogamy in some Latin American dental journals

“…Endogamy has various meanings and perceptions, placing us in a certain conceptual disparity; above all, when reflecting on it from an ethical point of view and even more so in the scientific contribution. In the present investigation, we started from the analysis of 2026 articles from 8 dental journals, finding the presence of editorial endogamy in 14.52%, agreeing with the research performed by Arteaga-Livias et al [14] who mentions that editorial endogamy in the Peruvian Journal of Experimental Medicine and Public Health (RPMESP) between 2016 and 2018 is below 25.00%, likewise; it is concentrated between the editorial committee and the advisory council. Likewise, the review by Arteaga-Livias et al [16] and Zdeněk [17] corroborate the data obtained…”

“…On the other hand, regarding the type of article with the highest frequency of editorial endogamy, it was the original 252 (98.05%), with an experimental study design 102 (39.70%), being more frequent in the year 2021 74 (28.79%), a result that was supported by the two studies by Arteaga-Livias et al [14,16] and Cáceres-Claro and Torres-Suáre [19]. Regarding the time elapsed from the date of submission to the publication of the article, it was statistically lower in inbred articles, a proposition that is supported by the review by Arteaga-Livias et al [14]; who suggests that being a member of the editorial committee is a characteristic that tends to shorten the time in which manuscripts are published.…”

Furthermore, in their current review [16] it is noted that inbred articles have a statistically lower median days from submission to acceptance; giving as a possible basis two opposite conclusions; the first that the quality of the articles of the editorial authors could be higher than that of the others due to their academic qualities that have led them to be editors or, the second; that being members of the editorial committee makes it easier for them to publish their own research.…”

“…P r e v i o u s s t u d i e s h a v e s t u d i e d t h i s particularity in original articles from a Peruvian public health journal, finding a prevalence of 23.17% [14]. However; there is still no research in the literature that evaluates editorial endogamy in dental journals in Latin America.…”
