Abstract
Journals are the most widely used way for the exchange and dissemination of scientific information in medicine. Researchers publish in journals to validate, disseminate, evaluate and compare scientific research. It is therefore important to know well the scientific journals and propose strategies for a proper use of them. In this article we enter into the world of medical journals through a symbolic journey, as if it were a "medical record" to describe a medical entity. In this first part we discussed the background (history of pediatric journals), epidemiology (what is published?), pathophysiology (how is it published?) and clinical (what problems have biomedical journals?).
