La evaluación de la investigación jurídica en México. Observaciones al mecanismo de evaluación del CONACYT

CONACYT is the Mexican council responsible for the coordination and evaluation of the national policy on science, technology and innovation, which applies a peer review mechanism for the acceptance or refusal of the national research projects, and the incorporation of new researchers. When concerning to the Law areas this method lacks of objectivity; that is the thesis of the present article. It is also argued that, as a State organization, it is obliged to apply the rightfulness and legal certainty principles in the evaluation process, as in any administrative act.
