title: A report on the evolution of this journal and an analysis of its present state and perspectives.
abstract: This journal appeared as Archivos de Biología y Medicina Experimentales between 1964 and 1992, its name being changed into Biological Research in 1992. This is a report on the past and present of the journal, analyzing the problems of a scientific journal published in English but produced in Latin America, those that its contributors must deal with in the preparation of the manuscripts, those involved in the evaluation procedures and editing of material for the press, and those about coverage by indexing services and the international recognition of the journal quality.
