Research enables progress in science. Scientific publications are one of the means used to share the advances found in research. Ecuador has had a substantial increase in its scientific production in recent years. In this context, the article aims to examine the relationship between scientific publications and variables of Ecuadorian researchers using the affiliation of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL). For this purpose, the Scopus® database was analyzed from 2010 to 2022. The growth in the number of publications started mainly due to state legislation, which mandated the need to publish research. This decision led to an increase in research being conducted in academia. The different groups analyzed showed differences; therefore, the university should have a differentiated strategy for each group. The procedure detailed in the article can serve as a reference for other institutions or for those who wish to evaluate the performance of their faculty. Publications bring prestige to both faculty members and institutions, but the main focus of research should not be lost. [For the full proceedings, see ED654100.]
