The scientific writing in the university. Visions of postgraduate students of Havana

Abstract

In the Cuban university environment there are few training spaces focused on improving the scientific writing skills of students, who demand that priority be given to content related to the writing and publication of science. The objective of the article is to analyze how a group of postgraduate students from the University of Havana perceives the teaching of scientific writing and what are the main hindrances in the learning of this subject. Among the main difficulties pointed out by them can be mentioned: the misuse of punctuation marks, the use of several forms of citation in the same work, a deficient organization of ideas, the difficulties to synthesize information and the transgression of the structure logic of the scientific article.
