Resumen

The accreditation of university institutions aims to seek educational excellence and raise quality indicators in the services they provide. The objective of the study was to analyze the standards related to scientific research of university teaching professionals. The methodology developed was a quantitative, descriptive, transversal, and non-experimental design. The population was made up of 320 professors from various public and private universities with the criterion of having experience in the accreditation process. The inclusion criteria were that the professors worked in the engineering faculty of the different universities between June and November 2023 and that they had experienced the accreditation process. The variable Evaluation of research standards in Peruvian universities consists of two dimensions: Research, technology and innovation and Intellectual property with 20 items. The instrument was adapted and validated by 5 specialists, undergoing a pilot test, obtaining a reliability of 0.9. The questionnaire will be applied through Google forms (in virtual mode. The results were presented in tables and the respective ethical principles were included during the research process. The results show that accreditation is a process that needs to be socialized throughout the organization to promote the culture of quality management framed in compliance with quality standards in research, for which it is necessary to comply with the planning and execution of the research budget as well as generate new researchers with the commitment to comply with research standards as part of their personal and institutional.
