A longitudinal study found that depressive symptoms increase social isolation, which in turn contributes to cognitive decline in older adults. This pathway is unidirectional and, though modest, provides a significant explanation for how depression impacts cognitive health over time.

📘 How to Position Your Scientific Journal for Greater Impact (2025 Edition)

Your journal’s visibility is not just about publishing — it’s about strategy, consistency, and credibility.

🔍 Here’s how successful journals increase their reach and ranking:

1️⃣ Define your scope clearly.
Readers and reviewers must instantly understand your niche and academic focus.

2️⃣ Strengthen your editorial standards.
Transparent peer review policies, rigorous methodology, and ethical compliance build trust.

3️⃣ Diversify your authorship.
Invite international collaborations to enhance citation potential and cross-disciplinary impact.

4️⃣ Use metrics wisely.
Impact Factor (IF), CiteScore, and SJR are not rivals — each measures different aspects of visibility and influence.

5️⃣ Invest in discoverability.
Ensure metadata accuracy, DOI registration, and integration with Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar.

6️⃣ Promote your content.
Social media, webinars, and author highlights create a living community around your journal.

💡 Remember: A well-positioned journal doesn’t chase impact — it builds it through editorial integrity and strategic communication.

📈 At Academic Support Consulting, we help journals and editorial boards design their visibility plans, improve indexing performance, and communicate their scientific value internationally.

Artificial Intelligence does not create on its own — it responds to the reflective consciousness that directs it.
Each written instruction is a note in the score of a shared symphony: the interaction between the human mind and the algorithmic mind.

🔹 At first glance, a prompt seems like a command.
But in truth, it is an exercise in structured thinking and cognitive purpose.

Just as a conductor doesn’t play each instrument but harmonizes the collective sense,
the one who designs prompts doesn’t dictate — they coordinate, refine, and reveal direction.

🧭 Technical language organizes.
Conscious language gives coherence.
And when both converge, AI ceases to be a tool and becomes an agent for building knowledge.

🌿 At Level A3, the human designs with rigor and creativity.
At Level A4, they guide with deep understanding — transforming language into a reflective and ethical act.
That convergence between knowledge and purpose is where science becomes most human:
the understanding that carries meaning.

💡 “When AI is guided by reflective consciousness, the prompt becomes a vessel of deep comprehension.”

Hace pocos días, la IA OpenEvidence logró un 100 % en el USMLE, el examen que valida la competencia médica en Estados Unidos.
Un logro histórico.
Una señal de cambio.
Y también, una advertencia.

🔹 Porque la IA no “aprueba” por comprender, sino por reconocer patrones.
Sabe responder, pero no dudar.
Puede reproducir evidencia, pero no interpretar dolor.

La medicina —y la ciencia en general— no viven de respuestas perfectas, sino de preguntas humanas: aquellas que nacen del cuerpo, la incertidumbre y la compasión.

🔍 El riesgo está en confundir exactitud con sabiduría.
Un modelo puede dominar toda la literatura médica, pero no entiende el silencio del paciente, ni la historia detrás de cada síntoma.
El conocimiento clínico no se mide solo en datos, sino en presencia y juicio ético.

🌍 Además, su “perfección” nace de un único modelo cultural.
OpenEvidence aprendió en inglés, con protocolos, casos y decisiones de un sistema sanitario occidental.
Pero ¿qué ocurre cuando aplicamos esa IA en contextos diferentes, donde la salud depende tanto del cuerpo como del entorno social y emocional?

La evidencia no es universal, es situada.
Y si la IA no incorpora esa diversidad, su precisión se vuelve ciega.

💭 La pregunta no es si la IA puede aprobar un examen médico.
La pregunta es si nosotros —profesionales, docentes, investigadores—
podremos seguir educando con criterio en un mundo donde las máquinas ya memorizan todo.

🧭 La verdadera inteligencia no consiste en acertar todas las respuestas,
sino en reconocer cuándo una pregunta aún no tiene respuesta.
