In Colombia, for example, we have high quality academic programs for accreditation, and very particularly the institutional accreditation of high quality records. Also, somewhere, they operate networks of evaluators anonymous of scientific publications. Every 18 to 24 months Colciencias evaluates the quality of the research groups in the country and serials (journals). The general framework is the creation and enhancement of high quality standards.At the international level, the great consecration of universities seems to be the be registered in the list each month of August published the ranking of Shanghai of the 500 best universities in the world. 10 Latin American universities already appear on this year’s list: Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Argentina. No Colombian University appears in this list to date.The emergence of various information systems, increasingly integrated and cross, are radically modifying both the dynamics of research in universities and the structure and knowledge management policy. If register this phenomenon in the framework, broader public policy of science and technology, the scene is all the more thrilling or disturbing.An important platform in production and intellectual quality measurements is Scimago who works on the basis of ISI Web of Knowledge and bringing together the databases of magazines with the greatest impact (ISI/Scopus).

Generally it is assumed that items whose journals are registered in this database have the broadest impact in scientific and academic communities.As well, for the first time, seven Colombian universities appear in the information contained in Scimago. These are: Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Universidad de Antioquia, Universidad del Valle, Universidad de los Andes, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and Universidad del Rosario. No doubt, these are the leading universities in research in the country, and marked a large distance (very large!) with the whole of the remaining universities in Colombia. Without hesitation: said grosso modo, the best brains are found in these seven universities. This demonstrates, moreover, on one side, a good knowledge management (research, academic, incentives, etc.), so much as, moreover, the best options that the country has to appear in the majors at universities.
