This Viewpoint argues that a hypothesis-centric approach to writing grant applications is problematic and instead suggests that funding applications should be evaluated by their relevance and methodological quality rather than by qualitative assertions before the study is conducted.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the technical-scientific production of research productivity fellows of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development, in Pediatrics, from 2013 to 2016. Methods: First, data were obtained identifying fellowship researchers using the Lattes Platform, and subsequently calculating the indicators present in their Lattes curricula using scriptLattes software v8.10. Results: In the period studied, 17 fellowship researchers were identified. They published a total of 524 articles in journals, most of them ranked as high and intermediate Qualis. In addition, fellowship researchers conducted 158 supervisions during the period, published 119 books or chapters and 465 papers in conference proceedings. Conclusion: The Brazilian scientific production in Pediatrics has shown to be significant and of good impact, both nationally and internationally. However, the distribution of research groups is concentrated in specific regions of Brazil.

La gestión de la bioinvestigación reúne unas características y necesidades que deben ser manejadas de forma óptima por la administración hospitalaria y por las instituciones sanitarias. Pues las peculiaridades de la bioinvestigación, sin perjuicio de que ofrezcan ciertas coincidencias con la actuación médica de finalidad principalmente curativa, exigen evitar la aplicación automática e indiscriminada de los criterios que el Derecho positivo ha venido estableciendo, creando un sistema propio y diferenciado. Y, ciertamente, piedra angular del sistema de responsabilidad en esta materia, que en este caso también lo es en la responsabilidad derivada de la actuación de los profesionales sanitarios en general, es la prestación de un consentimiento informado, libre y consciente (trátese de obtención de muestras biológicas, de realización de análisis genéticos con distintos fines o de utilización de preembriones procedentes de tratamiento de reproducción asistida para investigación, por mencionar algunas de las actividades biomédicas). Por lo que cabe preguntarse si este sistema de responsabilidad será aplicable al marco normativo general de la responsabilidad patrimonial de la Administración Sanitaria
The management of the bioinvestigación assembles a few characteristics and needs that they must be handled of ideal form for the hospitable administration and for the sanitary institutions. So the peculiarities of the bioinvestigación, without prejudice that they offer certain coincidences with the medical action of principally curative purpose, demand to avoid the automatic and indiscriminate application of the criteria that the Statute law has come establishing, creating an own and differentiated system. And, certainly, angular stone of the system of responsibility in this matter, which in this case also it is in the responsibility derived from the action of the sanitary professionals in general, is the presentation of an informed, free and conscious assent (( It be a question of obtaining of biological samples, of accomplishment of genetic analyses with different ends or of utilization of preembriones proceeding from treatment of reproduction represented for investigation, for mentioning some of the biomedical activities). For what it is necessary to ask if this system of responsibility will be applicable to the normative general frame of the patrimonial responsibility of the Sanitary Administration

Objective: To describe a standard approach to provide a support structure for pharmacy resident research that emphasizes self-identification of a residency research project. Methods: A subcommittee of the residency advisory committee was formed at our institution. The committee was initially comprised of 2 clinical pharmacy specialists, 1 drug information pharmacist, and 2 pharmacy administrators. The committee developed research guidelines that are distributed to residents prior to the residency start that detail the research process, important deadlines, and available resources. Instructions for institutional review board (IRB) training and deadlines for various assignments and presentations throughout the residency year are clearly defined. Residents conceive their own research project and emphasis is placed on completing assignments early in the residency year. Results: In the 4 years this research process has been in place, 15 of 16 (94%) residents successfully identified their own research question. All 15 residents submitted a complete research protocol to the IRB by the August deadline. Four residents have presented the results of their research at multi-disciplinary national professional meetings and 1 has published a manuscript. Feedback from outgoing residents has been positive overall and their perceptions of their research projects and the process are positive. Conclusion: Pharmacy residents selecting their own research projects for their residency year is a feasible alternative to assigning or providing lists of research projects from which to select a project (AU)
Objetivo: Describir un abordaje estándar para proporcionar una estructura de apoyo a los residentes de investigación en farmacia que enfatice la autoidentificación de un proyecto de investigación en la residencia. Métodos: En nuestra institución se creó un subcomité del comité asesor de la residencia. Inicialmente el comité se componía de 2 especialistas en farmacia clínica, un farmacéutico de información sobre medicamentos, y dos administradores de farmacia. El comité desarrolló guías que detallaban el proceso de investigación, fechas límite importantes, y recursos disponibles, y que se distribuyeron entre los residentes antes de comenzase la residencia. Se definieron claramente instrucciones para la junta de investigación de la institución (IRB) con entrenamiento y fechas límite para varias tareas y presentaciones a lo largo del año de residencia. Los residentes concebían su propio proyecto de investigación y se colocaba énfasis en completar las tareas de la parte inicial del año de residencia. Resultados: En los 4 años que este procedimiento de investigación lleva en vigor, 15 de los 16 (94%) residentes identificaron con éxito sus propias preguntas de investigación. Todos los 15 residentes enviaron un protocolo de investigación completo al IRB en la fecha límite de agosto. Cuatro residentes presentaron resultados de su investigación en reuniones profesionales nacionales multidisciplinarias y uno publicó un artículo. El retorno de los residentes salientes ha sido en general positivo y sus percepciones sobre sus proyectos de investigación y el proceso son positivas. Conclusión: Residentes de farmacia seleccionando su propio proyecto de investigación es una alternativa factible a asignar oa proporcionar listas de proyectos para que elijan uno (AU)

The Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) has been used in psychology research during the last decade. The instrument has been used in a variety of life domains: psychological well-being, dispositional happiness, depressive symptoms and career adaptability. This investigation studies the factor structure and internal consistency of the SRQ, extracting a short version in the Spanish context and examining its relation to academic variables (self-regulated learning and grades). The analysis started from a version with 63 items, representing seven conceptual dimensions. This version was administered to a sample of 834 students from Education and Psychology. The data from the above-mentioned sample were randomly divided into two sets, each containing 50% of the students (n = 417): exploratory and confirmatory. In the exploratory sample, exploratory factor analysis findings suggested a more parsimonious measurement model, with 17 items and 4 first-order factors. The confirmatory sample was used in the confirmatory factor analysis. The results show evidence for the internal consistency of the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ) in the Spanish context, with indices greater than .90 and errors around .05. Regarding academic variables, both versions are related to self-regulated learning (r = .40, p < .01) and students grades (r = .15, p < .01). Differences from other studies done in North America are discussed, as well as similarities to a study from North-West University (in South Africa) (AU)

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, the confronting dichotomous view between experimental/quasi-experimental and non-experimental/ethnographic studies still exists but, despite the extensive use of non-experimental/ethnographic studies, the most systematic work on methodological quality has been developed based on experimental and quasi-experimental studies. This hinders evaluators and planners' practice of empirical program evaluation, a sphere in which the distinction between types of study is changing continually and is less clear. METHOD: Based on the classical validity framework of experimental/quasi-experimental studies, we carry out a review of the literature in order to analyze the convergence of design elements in methodological quality in primary studies in systematic reviews and ethnographic research. RESULTS: We specify the relevant design elements that should be taken into account in order to improve validity and generalization in program evaluation practice in different methodologies from a practical methodological and complementary view. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend ways to improve design elements so as to enhance validity and generalization in program evaluation practice
ANTECEDENTES: por una parte, actualmente todavía existe la visión dicotómica en que se presentan confrontados los estudios experimentales/cuasi-experimentales y no-experimentales/etnográficos; y por otra parte, a pesar del extendido uso de los estudios no-experimentales/etnográficos, el trabajo más sistemático sobre calidad metodológica se ha llevado a cabo en los estudios experimentales y cuasi-experimentales. Esto dificulta la práctica de quienes evalúan y planifican los programas a nivel empírico, un área donde la distinción entre tipos de estudio está en cambio constante y es menos clara. MÉTODO: tomando como referencia el marco clásico de validez en estudios experimentales/cuasi-experimentales, realizamos una revisión de la literatura con el fin de analizar la convergencia de los elementos de diseño en calidad metodológica de los estudios primarios en revisiones sistemáticas e investigación etnográfica. RESULTADOS: explicitamos los elementos de diseño relevantes que habrían de tenerse en cuenta para mejorar la validez y generalización en evaluación de programas en las diferentes metodologías desde una aproximación práctica de complementariedad metodológica. CONCLUSIONES: proponemos recomendaciones para mejorar los elementos de diseño y así potenciar la validez y la generalización en la práctica de evaluación de programas

Self-regulated learning is one of the main processes being investigated today within developmental and educational psychology; however, the research has come up against a number of challenges for which no satisfactory response has been found, and which are impeding progress in the field. These challenges are two-fold: one part is methodological, as the process of self-regulation must be evaluated at the very moment in which it occurs, and the other part is developmental, as these processes have not been fully assessed in children under the age of 6 years. This article gives a broad overview of these challenges, as well as prospects for future solutions which are beginning to take shape(AU)
El aprendizaje autorregulado es uno de los principales procesos que están investigando, hoy en día, dentro de la Psicología Educativa y del Desarrollo. Sin embargo, la investigación ha tropezado con una serie de retos, para los cuales aún no hay respuesta satisfactoria, y que están obstaculizando el progreso en el campo. Estos retos son dos: uno es metodológico, ya que el proceso de autorregulación debe ser evaluado en el momento mismo en que ocurre, y el otro es psicoevolutivo, ya que estos procesos no han sido plenamente evaluado en niños menores de 6 años de edad. Este artículo aporta una visión general de estos retos, así como las perspectivas de las futuras soluciones que están empezando a tomar forma(AU)

Se hace una exposición de los datos obtenidos en la encuesta realizada desde la Red iberoamericana de Toxicología y Seguridad Química desde 2009 a 2010. Se presentan los datos en forma de tablas ateniendo a los siguientes epígrafes: a) Distribución de publicaciones científicas que utilizan la palabra clave toxicology, según país de origen, en la base de datos isi web of knowledge; b) País de origen de los toxicólogos que respondieron la encuesta; c) Tipo de institución donde desarrolla la actividad toxicológica; d) Área en la cual se desarrolla la actividad toxicológica; e) Líneas de desarrollo de la investigación; f) Tipo de difusión de resultados; y g) Financiamiento para investigación. Se señala que la falta de toxicólogos probablemente se deba a una pobre demanda y unas oportunidades de formación insuficientes, lo cual lleva a una autoformación que no necesariamente permite la experiencia suficiente para desarrollar investigación en instituciones académicas o trabajar en agencias gubernamentales (AU)
An exhibition of the information obtained in the survey realized by the Iberoamerican Network of Toxicology and Chemical Safety from 2009-2010 is proposed. The information in the shape of tables abiding to the following epigraphs is presented: a) Distribution of scientific publications which use the word toxicology as a key word, according to native country of origin, in the database isi web of knowledge; b) Native land/country of origin of the toxicologists who answered the survey; c) Type of institution where the toxicological activity is developed; d) Area in which the toxicological activity is developed; e) Lines of the research's development; f) Type of results' diffusion; and g) Financing for research. It highlights that the lack of toxicologists should be due to a poor demand and insufficient opportunities of formation, which leads to an autoformation which does not necessarily allow enough experience to develop research in academic institutions or to be employed in governmental agencies (AU)

La investigación en el cuidado de la salud por parte de las enfermeras está siendo un procesolento y contranatural, dada la limitación para el doctorado en muchas universidades a nivel internacional.A pesar de ello, la producción científica de las enfermeras españolas mantiene un crecimientoexponencial desde hace más de 30 años. En este sentido, se puede mencionar que ha existido ciertofomento de la investigación en cuidados por parte del Instituto Carlos III con un número crecientede proyectos financiados. No obstante, dicha financiación sigue siendo muy escasa y la producción científicagenerada lo es todavía más.En sus convocatorias, se observa un desequilibrio en las oportunidades de acceso para profesionalessanitarios no médicos, destacando: un baremo no acorde al área disciplinar para la evaluaciónde publicaciones considerando exclusivamente la base de datos MEDLINE, y la evaluación de la productividadde los investigadores sólo mediante el factor de impacto del Science Citation Index.Al mismo tiempo, esta situación está favoreciendo e incentivando la publicación científica en lenguainglesa (también en Medicina), que choca frontalmente con la política de promoción del español,que realiza el Ministerio de Cultura a través del Instituto Cervantes.La generación de conocimiento debe ser reconocida y valorada independientemente del área disciplinar,del idioma y de la base de datos donde se albergue la revista científica. Así, se echan en faltalas bases de datos IME, PsichoINFO,PSICODOC, ISOC-Sociología y CC. Políticas, CUIDEN o CINAHL;así como los índices bibliométricos desarrollados por el Instituto de Estudios Documentales de laCiencia (CSIC-Universidad de Valencia) y por la Fundación Index
Nursing care research is a low and counternatural process, once known the access limitationto phD studies in many international universities. Nevertheless, scientific publications producedby spanish nurses keep an exponential growth for the last 30 years. By the way, it can be mentioned that there has been some help by the Institute Carlos III for nursing research. However,nursing research funds has been short, and it has been even shorter the scientific publicationproduced from it.Research funds access is unbalanced, detrimentally to non-medical health professionals: Standardsare not adjusted to every professional for publications evaluation, considering just MEDLINE database;and researchers production evaluation is performed only via the impact factor from the Science CitationIndex.At the same time, this situation is helping and supporting scientific publication in english language(also in medicine), opposing to the promotion of Spanish which the Ministery of Culture carries outthrough the Cervantes Institute around the world.Knowledge generation must be recognised and valued independently of the disciplinary area, languageand database where the scientific journal is indexed. So, it is important to take into account: databasessuch as IME,PsichoINFO,PSICODOC,ISOC-Sociología y CC.Políticas,CUIDENor CINAHL,and bibliometric indexes developed by the Institute of Science Documental Studies (CSIC-Universityof Valencia) and by Index Foundation

En el primer tercio del siglo XX crecieron diversas líneas de relación entre las universitarias norteamericanas y españolas; en particular, la que se estableció entre la Junta para Ampliación de Estudio se Investigaciones Científicas (JAE) y el International Institute for Girls in Spain (IIGS) influyó positivamente en la formación de las mujeres de ciencia españolas. Esta relación se concretó en un intercambio de estudiantes y profesoras, y en el establecimiento de una línea de becas para las jóvenes graduadas. El artículo incluye la historia del Laboratorio Foster y la biografía de su fundadora (AU)
In the first third of the twentieth century, relations among American and Spanish university women began; particularly the relationship between the JAE and the International Institute for Girls in Spain had a positive influence in the education of women scientists in Spain. An interchange of students and teachers came out from this relationship, and Spanish women received scholarships to stay in American universities. The history of the Foster Laboratory and some biographical notes ofher founder are included in the paper (AU)
