Abstract
Introduction: Publishing scientific articles from undergraduates enables the student to consolidate the research process through formal channels of scientific communication. Objective: Describing the scientific production of articles with student participation in Peruvian dental journals in the period between 2012 and 2017. Materials and methods: Descriptive study that evaluated the articles of the journals: Sanmarquina Dentistry, Herediana Stomatology, Kiru and Dental Vision. An analysis was performed on each article, including student participation, authorship, university of origin, topic of the article, type of article, and citation index. Results: Out of a total of 500 articles, 9.6% (48) had student participation, with a mean of 2.48 ± 1.76 students per article. Just over half (56.25%) corresponded to original articles. The students were the main authors in 43.75% of the articles. In 22.9% of these articles, the main topic was related to Dental Education, followed by Buccomaxillofacial Surgery and Oral Rehabilitation. Conclusion: Student scientific production in Peruvian dental journals is low, and mainly concentrates on original articles.
