Abstract

This debate paper discusses the process of cultural change that is occurring in the Colombian academic and scientific communities, a change from which it is possible to understand the reasons why, despite their shortcomings, particularly their accountability models and validation rituals (calls, rankings, reclassifications, etc.), Science and Technology (Sci&Tech) policies are adopted, appropriated, and operationalized as a result of a new audit culture that has been established in our university institutions.
