Abstract
The knowledge when is disseminated, used and transferred to professionals established a relation between investigators, publishers and educators which has as a target the readers. A social responsibility of scientists is to look for solutions to problems that affect the society, since the medicine is to look for solutions that lead to increase the health level and to diminish the consequences of the disease. The evaluation of the scientific productivity, the quality of the journals and the education is a necessity as a part of a general evaluation of results. In this area, there is again a link between investigators-publishers-educators but with the readers. The aim is to communicate reflections about the quality of medical journals and the scientific productivity.
