Production, University, Peru, Social, ComputersAbstract
The study examined the scientific production in social sciences and computer science of Peruvian universities between 2013 and 2023, registering a total of 16,443 research papers. Critical areas requiring attention were identified, such as the need to broaden the variety of publications, encourage greater participation in congresses within the social sciences, and promote review articles in the field of computer science. Among the most frequent terms are “students”, “education”, and “human”. In terms of productivity, the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas leads in social sciences, while the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú leads in computer science. The preference for publishing in foreign journals reflects the interest in greater visibility and quality, although it also shows the urgency of strengthening funding. Institutions such as Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa, Universidad Privada del Norte, Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, and Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos stand out for their economic support. It is suggested to intensify internationalization and explore the financial and scientific capacity of universities.
