Resumen

Effective communication sometimes requires a common language. This is particularly true in science, where communication among health professionals and scientists across national boundaries has become critical because of the rapidity with which new knowledge is acquired. In the modern era, where multinationalism in key medical and scientific discoveries is increasingly common, the language is undoubtedly English. In fact, more than three-quarters of scientific papers today are published in English. The Revista de Investigación Clinica has a long tradition among Mexican scientists as the journal of the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición and will remain so. This bilingual journal, mostly published in Spanish, has been regularly released since 1948 and has been devoted to disseminating knowledge in the biomedical community. Nevertheless, it is time to look to the future. Since English is the predominant language for scientific communication, and its influence among researchers all over the world continues to grow, the new version of Revista de Investigación Clínica – Clinical and Translational Investigation – now also the official journal of the Mexican National Institutes of Health, is migrating to an English-language publication starting with this issue. The purpose of this change is to add value to its content by focusing on a more effective dissemination of relevant information on research in clinical and biomedical sciences. It aims at enhancing the impact of the reported findings amongst significant international target audiences. We recognize that publication is integral to the academic role of the investigators, which very often comprise research and teaching responsibilities.
