Investigación Clínica continue to adapt to all the requirements for scientific publications

Abstract

In celebrating our 65th anniversary, we continue to adapt to all the requirements for scientific publications. We have shifted from print to digital and continued publishing quarterly on time, despite adverse circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic. We have published systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We have used the ORCID number for authors, referees, and the editorial board, as well as the DOI number for all published works. We have also provided disclosure of authors’ participation in the publication, funding sources, approval by the ethics committee of the institution responsible for the work, disclosure of conflicts of interest, and the use of artificial intelligence in writing the manuscript. We remain indexed in Web of Science and Scopus and have reactivated our indexing in Scielo. All works published over the past 65 years are freely available on our website and/or in the repositories of the University of Zulia and Scielo-Venezuela. The 879 papers published between 1989 and 2017 remain in PubMed, an index we had to abandon due to our country’s technological limitations. We are listed on Google Scholar; and CrossRef reports the papers’ readership by their respective DOIs. This information about the journal’s search is also monitored through our website, which reflects its widespread worldwide dissemination. I want to thank the authors who have chosen to publish their work, the referees who generously collaborated with the review of articles, the members of the Editorial Committee, especially the website administrator, the Style, Language, and Statistics Committees, and our efficient graphic designer, for all the support that allows “Investigación Clínica” to remain current and maintain a place of national and international honor. A word of thanks also goes to the many other collaborators who help us disseminate our published material.
