About the Journal

Focus, aims, and scope

The Revista Gregoriana de Ciencias de la Salud (e-ISSN: 3028-8940), from the San Gregorio of Portoviejo University, Ecuador, is a high-level scientific communication platform specializing in Health Sciences. Our objective is to promote advancing and disseminating knowledge in this crucial area, encouraging research and academic debate. Aimed at Health Science professionals and students, the journal aspires to become an essential resource for their educational and professional development. The main objectives of the Revista Gregoriana de Ciencias de la Salud are to promote scientific cooperation at different levels, internationalize knowledge in Health Sciences, and stimulate academic discussion through the quarterly publication of advances in research, science, and technology in the field of health through the presentation of original research results, review articles, presentation of clinical cases, historical articles, profiles, editorials and letter to the Editor. These works will be included in the various thematic categories of the journal according to the nature of their content. These sections include Clinical Research; Basic Health Sciences; Public Health and Epidemiology; Medical Technologies and Diagnostics; Nursing and Health Care; Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy; Bioethics and Medical Ethics; Education and Management in Health Sciences; Nutrition and Food Sciences; Preventive medicine; Psychology and Mental Health; Geriatrics and Aging Care; Alternative and Complementary Medicine; Globalization and Health; and Innovation in Health Sciences.

The journal accepts manuscripts written in Spanish and English as long as they have not been submitted simultaneously to other scientific journals. These manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind external peer review process by international standards, guaranteeing quality and scientific validity.

The journal encourages the presentation of works related to both basic and applied research on:

  • Molecular and cellular biology: study of fundamental biological processes at the molecular and cellular level, including genetics, gene expression, and cellular regulation.
  • Immunology: immune system, its components, and responses to pathogens, as well as the development of immunological therapies.
  • Physiology: physical and chemical functions and processes in living organisms, including cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems.
  • Pharmacology: effects of drugs on living organisms, including their mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, and development of new medicines.
  • Molecular epidemiology: molecular causes of diseases and how they spread in populations.
  • Clinical nursing: clinical practice and patient care, addressing care management and quality of life.
  • Applied physiotherapy: physiotherapy interventions and rehabilitation, as well as managing musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Research in medical technologies: development and evaluation of innovative medical technologies, such as imaging devices, diagnostic equipment, and advances in telemedicine.
  • Medical laboratory sciences: improvement of clinical laboratory techniques, including blood analysis, microbiology, and diagnostic testing.
  • Environmental health: effects of the environment on human health, including pollution, food safety, and occupational health.
  • Radiology and optometry: diagnostic imaging techniques and eye health care, respectively.
  • Education and Management in Health Sciences: experiences, research and innovative practices in training, education of professionals and management in Health Sciences.
