Resumen

Latinoamérica continua con los esfuerzos para producir universidades orientadas a la investigación respondiendo a los desafíos actuales en una región con menor tradición académica y ejerciendo presión para que estas instituciones tengan producciones científicas de alto impacto y ocupen lugares estelares en los rankings tanto nacionales como internacionales. Bajo ese contexto, este estudio analizó el caso de la producción científica de la Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL), una institución pública de investigación ecuatoriana, para contrastar hipótesis sobre sus contribuciones intelectuales y sobre las mediciones de calidad e impacto utilizando un modelo de regresión con Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios. Los hallazgos de las contribuciones intelectuales de esta institución mostraron que la antigüedad y extensión están significativamente relacionados con mayores citas. Los artículos publicados en revista de alto impacto, la cantidad de autores y sus distancias regionales tienen un efecto positivo sobre el número de citas y, finalmente, en términos de brecha de género no hubo resultados significativos.
