The methods used were analytical-synthetic, systemic-structural and classic documentary analysis oriented to published scientific literature and the presence in social and academic networks of the @utm domain. Results: a training plan was designed to increase scientific visibility in the social and academic networks of the school community of the Technical University of Manabí. Likewise, it was particularized in the 12 scientific journals that this institution has and that, given the function they perform, deserve special treatment. Conclusions: the visibility of scientific findings is crucial to promote collaboration and recognition of researchers.
