The objective of this study is characterizing the dynamics of human resources in scientific research, and the scientific production within the communities of public health and biomedical sciences in the country. The methodology of this study articulates the performance assessment of human resources and transit toward scientific communities, based on the framework of the theory of knowledge capital (Jaramillo et.al; 2006.2008), and the modeling of the academic careers (Dietz and Bozeman, 2005). In this sense, we estimate tobit models and multilevel models to analyze the Curriculum Vitae (CV) of 5.233 researchers. We use information supplied by ScienTI-Colciencias (GrupLAC and CvLAC) updated to November 2007. The results show how the academic careers of researchers in public health and biomedical sciences differ significantly from each other, which is evident when looking at rates of productivity and cumulative experience in the development of research activities inside each specific community.(El objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar la dinamica de los recursos humanos en investigacion y su produccion cientifica al interior de las comunidades de salud publica y ciencias basicas biomedicas del pais. El enfoque de este estudio articula la evaluacion del comportamiento de los recursos humanos y el transito hacia comunidades cientificas, vistos desde la teoria del capital conocimiento (Jaramillo et.al; 2006,2008), con la modelacion de las carreras academicas de los investigadores (Dietz y Bozeman; 2005). En este sentido, se estiman los modelos Tobit y de Analisis Multinivel para analizar los Curriculum Vitae (CV) de 5.233 investigadores, utilizando la informacion suministrada por la Plataforma ScienTI-Colciencias (GrupLAC y CvLAC) actualizada a noviembre de 2007. Los resultados muestran como las carreras academicas de los investigadores en salud publica y ciencias basicas biomedicas difieren significativamente, lo cual se vera reflejado en las tasas de productividad, en la acumulacion de experiencia para el desarrollo de las actividades de investigacion y en consolidacion y caracterizacion de cada comunidad cientifica.)
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
