ABSTRACT
Objective:
To determine the characteristics of the postgraduate research in order to generate research policies.Methods:
A cross-sectional analytical re-search was conducted to determine the characteristics of research in the various postgraduate levels. A stratified random sample of the database of postgraduate research contained in the website of the University of Cuenca was used. Chi2 sta-tistic was used, and a level of significance was accepted p <0.05 in hypothesis tes-ting. The sample consisted of 98 research papers.Results:
The model for biomedical research is predominant (79.6%) in the Masters is the social (65.5%). (p 0.000). Most are clinics (78.6%) investigations. Research with so-cial components developed in the masters (72.4%). (p 0.000). The number of resear-chers males (50.0%) is similar to that of wo-men (50.0%). The investigations are made by an author. Investigations are applied (100.0%) and quantitative (94.9%). Only the Masters there are qualitative (6.9%), mixed (6.9%) and other (3.4%) investigations. (p = 0.051). Dominated by observational stu-dies (78.6%); the intervention constitute 21.4% (p = 0.889). The descriptive research (36.7%), analytical (39.8%) have greater weight than those of intervention (23.5%), p 0.321). In the analytical cross-sectional research predominate (89.7%), and the ex-perimental intervention (78.3%). There is no international cooperation and inter is mini-mal (7.1%) referred to the Masters. There is good correspondence with the lines of ins-titutional research (57.1%) in most research and the use of international bibliographic standards is high (99.6%).Conclusions:
The fundamental characte-ristics of research at the graduate has not changed substantially. The predominant biomedical research remains, quantitati-ve, clinical, observational, there has been progress in reducing the descriptive inves-tigations and have increased (transverse) and experimental analytics. The master has developed more social health research. Research has failed to overcome the aca-demic and personal interest level, no inter-national collaboration and inter is scarce. It has improved the technical component, is majority use international bibliographic standards.Key words
