Abstract
RESUMEN. El autor analiza las estrategias que la revista Universitas Odontologica ha implementado para internacionalizarse. Ellas incluyen la publicación electrónica de libre acceso, la creación de comités con amplia participación de miembros de instituciones internacionales y la publicación de dossiers temáticos con editores invitados de diferentes países. Dichas estrategias parecen no ser suficientes en este momento para que los artículos de la revista sean más citados en otras publicaciones. Una mayor citación es un imperativo de cara al nuevo sistema de evaluación de revistas de Colombia. Las dos posibles opciones son quedarse como una revista institucional o continuar el proceso de posicionamiento internacional. Este último involucraría dar el paso a convertirse en una revista bilingüe y asegurar los recursos financieros y organizacionales necesarios.
ABSTRACT. The author analyzes the internationalization strategies implemented by Universitas Odontologica. They include open access publication, the creation of committees with an emphasis on members from international institutions, and the publication of thematic dossiers with international guest editors. Currently, those strategies do not seem to be enough to have more of its articles cited in other journals. Achieving more citations is an imperative with the new Colombian journal evaluation system. The two possible options are to stay as an institutional journal or continue internationalizing. The latter would require becoming a bilingual journal and assuring adequate funding and organizational resources.
