This study aimed to determine the frequency of publication in scientific journals of the documents submitted by postgraduate dentistry students to obtain a second professional specialty title and master's and doctoral degrees at a private Peruvian university over seven years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted, considering the population and the records of documents submitted to obtain the second professional specialty title and the master's and doctoral degrees in dentistry at a private Peruvian university, published in its institutional repository from 2017 to 2023. The primary outcome was publication in scientific journals, and the covariates were the year of formal submission of the document, postgraduate level, modality of document preparation, area of dentistry specialty according to the American Dental Association, year of publication, international indexing, impact factor (IF), and quartile. A descriptive analysis was performed to obtain absolute and relative frequencies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Between 2017 and 2023, out of 322 documents submitted to receive the second professional specialty title and the master's and doctoral degrees published in the institutional repository, 72 were published in scientific journals. Of these, 81.94% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200959) were published in an internationally indexed scientific journal, with 13.56% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20098) published in a journal with an IF\u22652 and 10.18% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20096) in a Q1 category journal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In low-income countries, the nexus between education and scientific output is multifaceted. While education serves as a critical catalyst, numerous challenges constrain the expansion of research. These nations contribute a mere 2% of global scientific production, despite confronting significant public health issues, underscoring a notable discrepancy between educational attainment and research productivity. The disparities in scientific output across universities in Latin America, Asia, and Europe are shaped by a confluence of cultural and economic determinants. In conclusion, 22.36% of the documents submitted to obtain the second professional specialty title and the master's and doctoral degrees by postgraduate dentistry students at a private Peruvian university over seven years were published in scientific journals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/froh.2024.1494435","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]],"date-time":"2024-12-05T06:28:52Z","timestamp":1733380132000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evolution of scientific productivity in dentistry: tracking postgraduate publications at a Peruvian university"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Cesar D.","family":"Rojas-Senador","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Claudia","family":"Garc\u00e9s-El\u00edas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto A.","family":"Le\u00f3n-Manco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"e3554","article-title":"Producci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica estudiantil en revistas odontol\u00f3gicas indexadas en SciELO, 2018 y 2019","volume":"59","author":"Corrales-Reyes","year":"2022","journal-title":"Rev Cubana Estomatol"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1016\/j.edumed.2017.04.002","article-title":"Producci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica de tesis sustentadas y publicadas por estudiantes de odontolog\u00eda","volume":"19","author":"Castro","year":"2018","journal-title":"Educ Med"},{"volume-title":"Requirements for Recognition of Dental Specialties and National Certifying Boards for Dental Specialists","year":"2022","key":"B3"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1592","DOI":"10.30979\/revabeno.v22i2.1592","article-title":"Technical-scientific profile of graduates from a professional master\u2019s degree course in dentistry: a cross-sectional study","volume":"22","author":"Costa","year":"2022","journal-title":"Rev ABENO"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0169121","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0169121","article-title":"Predictors of student productivity in biomedical graduate school applications","volume":"12","author":"Hall","year":"2017","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0127470","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0127470","article-title":"Medical student research: an integrated mixed-methods systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"10","author":"Amgad","year":"2015","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"162","DOI":"10.4103\/2249-4863.154622","article-title":"Master\u2019s and doctoral theses in family medicine and their publication output, Suez canal university, Egypt","volume":"4","author":"Nour-Eldein","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Family Med Prim Care"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e1469","DOI":"10.19083\/ridu.2021.1469","article-title":"Scientific publication of master\u2019s degree works of a graduate school in Peru.
