Introduction: Scientific research, defined as an intentional process of constructing new knowledge, is one of the foundations on which the formation of the student of medicine is based. Aim: To identify the accessibility of student publication in journals of health sciences indexed in SciELO. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study was conducted. All the journals indexed in SciELO were included in the study. The Instructions for authors were reviewed; mails were sent to magazines and we searched for articles in the database of the journals. The categories were: accept student publication, accept student publication with condition, student publication not accepted, and not specified. The data was filled in a registration form. Results: The 64.97% of the journals allows the publication of original articles with medical students as authors. African, Spanish and Brazilian journals are those with greater access to the publication of students without any condition. Conclusion: More than half of the reviewed journals allow student publication. It is important that undergraduate students are aware of the journals that could potentially become the cradle of his future research.
