Impacto del semillero de investigación en la producción científica de una universidad privada del Paraguay

This study examines the impact of a research seedbed on the scientific output of the Faculty of Health at a private university in Paraguay, comparing the periods 2010–2022 and 2022–2025. Using a descriptive-retrospective approach, a significant increase in both the quantity and diversity of scientific publications was observed following the formalization of the seedbed in 2022. The number of published articles rose from 13 in the first period to 39 in the second, with 12 more in progress. Beyond the quantitative growth, there was a thematic expansion into areas such as public health, endemic diseases, and medical education. The findings underscore the importance of institutionalizing these spaces to promote a research culture in higher education.
