Abstract (English): Introduction: Authoral endogamy, endogenous publication or self-publishing is defined as the scientific publication in a journal by a member of the editorial committee of the same journal. The objective of the study was to determine the presence of authorial endogamy in some student medical scientific journals in Latin America, from 2018 to 2021. Methods: Observational, descriptive, bibliometric study. A search of student medical journals was carried out, to determine the composition of the editorial committees, the web page of the selected journals was accessed and to assess a probable change in the years evaluated, the Wayback Machine tool was used (https://archive. org/web/), which allows evaluating web pages in different time slices. The results were expressed in percentages and frequency measures and for the bivariate analysis the Mann Whitney U test and chi square (p<0.05) were used. Results: A total of 672 articles published in 6 student medical scientific journals in Latin America were evaluated, the prevalence of authorial endogamy was 7.44%, found more frequently in original articles 9.25% (n=33), belonging to the editorial board 47.27% (n= 26), and co-author position 42.44% (n=22), the number of days from submission to acceptance were statistically lower in inbred articles (p=0.001). Conclusion: The presence of authorial inbreeding in student medical journals was low, this finding being more frequent in original articles, coming mostly from the editorial board and the co-author as signatory, in addition, inbred articles presented fewer days of editorial process.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: La endogamia autoral, publicación endógena o autopublicación es definida como la publicación científica en una revista por parte de un miembro del comité editorial de la misma revista. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la presencia de endogamia autoral en algunas revistas científicas médicas estudiantiles en Latinoamérica, durante el 2018 a 2021. Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de tipo bibliométrico. Se realizo una búsqueda de revistas médicas estudiantiles, para determinar la composición de los comités editoriales se accedió a la página web de las revistas seleccionadas y para valorar un probable cambio en los años evaluados se utilizó la herramienta Wayback Machine (https://archive.org/web/), la cual permite evaluar páginas web en distintos cortes de tiempo. Los resultados se expresaron en porcentajes y medidas de frecuencia y para el análisis bivariado se utilizó la prueba U de Mann Whitney y chi cuadrado (p<0.05). Resultados: Se evaluaron un total de 672 artículos publicados en 6 revistas científicas medicas estudiantiles en Latinoamérica, la prevalencia de endogamia autoral fue del 7.44 %, encontrándose con mayor frecuencia en artículos originales 9.25% (n=33), pertenecientes al consejo editorial 47.27% (n=26), y de posición coautor 42.44% (n=22), el número de días desde el envío hasta la aceptación eran estadísticamente menores en los artículos endogámicos (p=0.001). Conclusión: La presencia de endogamia autoral en revistas médicas estudiantiles fue baja, siendo más frecuente dicho hallazgo en artículos originales, provenientes en su mayoría del consejo editorial y como firmante el coautor, además, los artículos endogámicos presentaban un menor número de días de proceso editorial.
