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?).
