Abstract
References

Research centers are organizations whose purpose is to create new knowledge and are called upon to generate developments in applied science, playing a fundamental
role as generators of scientific advances, which has not been fulfilled in Latin America, since the results obtained
are mostly basic science with a low impact in the practical sphere. The purpose of this article is to present the
operational model proposed by Linares (2024), which is part of his doctoral thesis, as a contribution to strengthen
operational management in research, based on the results obtained by the author from a population sample
of research centers in 18 countries of the region. This research was carried out according to the quantitative paradigm. The structure of the operational model is
presented below; it allows setting a strategic plan based on a series of recommendations to strengthen the operability and scope of science management and knowledge
construction. The main conclusion is that the problems affecting the research centers are multidimensional due to a series of weaknesses that affect the performance of
these institutions and the development of R&D projects, highlighting deficiencies in technological exploration, structural aspects and budgetary issues
