Resumen
Una característica asociada con el
surgimiento de la ciencia moderna, en los
siglos XVI y XVII, fue el establecimiento
de una rica dinámica ‘socializadora’ del
conocimiento mediante reuniones periódicas
entre científicos, una profusa comunicación
epistolar y la aparición de las revistas científicas.
En el ámbito de las ciencias naturales aparecieron
las primeras publicaciones periódicas a finales
del siglo XVII, y posteriormente numerosas
revistas especializadas, generándose un amplio
universo editorial que hoy alcanza decenas de
miles de publicaciones periódicas. Claramente,
en ciencias naturales, la comunicación de los
principales hallazgos y la propuesta de nuevas
concepciones se basan en la publicación en
revistas, en el contexto de la revisión crítica
por pares académicos y en una dinámica de
depuración constante del conocimiento.
