Mr. Editor The National Council of Science and Technology (CONCYTEC) has been developing a recognized work to increase the scientific production of quality in our country. Among other actions, it has created the National Directory of Researchers (DINA) and the National Registry of Researchers in Science and Technology (REGINA).
