My Years as Coeditor of the Revista de Investigación Clínica and the 1993-1998 Readers of Our Journal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Some information on our readers during my years as coeditor of the Revista de Investigación Clínica are presented on the basis that readers, unlike editors, have no conflict of interest in evaluating scientific publications.The information provided is restricted to the past 6 years (1993-1998) of my 11 years as coeditor since the number of reader visits to our on-line articles began in 1993.The nearly 500 articles published in the 6-year lapse were visited by more than 1 million readers with an outstanding 1998 year of almost 100 articles and near a quarter of a million visits.These figures suggest that our journal became at the end of the 20 th Century a valuable information source for physicians in Mexico.It was the original idea that led Salvador Zubirán to launch this journal in 1948.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
