Spanish Abstract: Este texto hace una reflexion sobre el uso que tiene la plataforma y sistema PUBLINDEX, cuya idea original era un sistema de indexacion-informacion, pero el cual desafortunadamente, ha quedado solo en un sistema de medicion, que mas que motivar y fomentar la calidad, visibilidad e impacto de las revistas cientificas colombianas, sirve como sistema para regular los incentivos salariales de los profesores universitarios, por lo que no es bien aceptado ni por la comunidad cientifica ni por los editores, por lo que sigue siendo mas una imposicion. English Abstract: This text presents a reflection of the use on the platform and system PUBLINDEX, whose original idea was to be a bibliographic information system, but which unfortunately has remained only in a measurement system, rather than motivating and promoting the quality, visibility and impact of Colombian scientific journals, serves as a system to regulate the salary incentives of university professors, and is therefore, not well accepted, neither by the scientific community nor by the editors, perceived more than an imposition than a promotion to Colombian scientific communication, which should be the ultimate goal.
