El presente es un artículo que se elabora con los resultados de una investigación exploratoria y descriptiva realizada con la comunidad investigadora de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) entre 2012 y 2013. Se diseñó un cuestionario en el que se incluyeron diversos ítems que permitieran obtener información para hacer una caracterización de la comunidad investigadora de la Universidad, en aspectos tales como: género, edad, máximo grado de titulación, unidad base de adscripción, ubicación en Régimen Académico, tipo de investigación que realiza, jornada dedicada a investigación y otros. Se trabajó con un listado de 815 personas facilitado por la Vicerrectoría de Investigación, a quienes se hizo llegar el cuestionario por medio del software “LimeSurvey”. De las 815 personas se obtuvo una cantidad total de 204 respuestas. En general, de la información obtenida se puede concluir que en la UCR existen áreas disciplinares y unidades académicas que cuentan con una significativa actividad de investigación, y existen otras en las que no sucede. Prevalecen las tendencias que, por ejemplo, colocan a las áreas de Ciencias Básicas, Ciencias Sociales, Ciencias Agroalimentarias y Salud, como aquellas en las que se sigue concentrando la mayor actividad de investigación que se realiza en la Universidad. Según los resultados obtenidos, esto involucra la necesidad de que en la institución se mantengan y profundicen las políticas institucionales y los esfuerzos de gestión por atenuar y resolver los desequilibrios que existen. This is an article that is elaborated with the results of an exploratory and descriptive research carried out with the research community at the University of Costa Rica (UCR) between 2012 and 2013.
