Sumario: This editorial analyzes some of the implications of exclusively validating research work and peer-reviewed academic journals through journal evaluation systems (indexes), such as Publindex in Colombia. It recognizes the contribution that these systems have made to improve the quality of publications and articles but emphasizes the need to involve academic communities to determine the value of knowledge and the processes to generate it. It also reflects on the context of dental research, the strategies that Universitas Odontologica has used to fulfill its mission and vision, and its challenges as a small institutional journal in dentistry.
