Abstract: In Mexico, a scientist´s career begins in graduate studies, specifically at the Master of Science level, therefore it is necessary to analyze how many of the graduates from this level become scientists. This is a 10 year (1999-2009) follow up study of graduates from three Master of Science programs, using the publication of two or more indexed papers in international journals as the criterion for becoming a scientist. Data were collected from 100 students enrolled in 1999 in 3 Schools (Medicine, Biology and Engineering) at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León.
