Abstract

This paper proposes that the knowledge production of universities is related to their accumulation of intellectual capital (IC). Therefore, universities with an historic process of the accumulation of IC present an exponential growth in their scientific production. This work studies the trends of the scientific publications of Colombian universities and the relationship between these trends and their IC. Universities were categorized into four groups according to the growth in number of their publications: exponential growth –early-; exponential growth –late-; linear growth and irregular growth. In addition, we present some factors relating to the accumulation of IC in Colombian universities.
