Recognition of academic merit and the Journal of Agricultural Geography

Abstract

At the national level there is a policy of recognizing the academic merit of professors and researchers who work at universities and other institutions of higher learning and research in Mexico. This policy is overseen by the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT for its initials in Spanish), which uses different programs focused on sectors or actions to promote the diffusion of research results within teaching and research activities. The programsare interrelated, so the results are integrated and require action to achieve cascading results.
