  • Introduction: The ultimate goal of scientific communication is the dissemination of research results and therefore should be a great interest by all those involved in this process, publishers, readers, reviewers and authors, to raise awareness quickly these results and to hear the comments that other scientists make the papers. The main publishing groups are leading in the race for innovation in scientific communication and they are very much involved in the implementation, in their portals, of collaborative tools (web 2.0), such as comments, rating, forums, etc. Meanwhile, on the other hand, we observe that most Biosanitary researchers are still reluctant to share their research results with the rest of the scientific community and society outside the traditional channels and through the use of this tools. Objectives: Understand that 2.0 tools are used by the core scientific journals knowing the degree of development / integration in the use of these tools by the scientific community (researchers) in journals. Material and methods: We analyzed the top 15 journals in the field of biomedicine according to the Science Citation Index 2009. In data mining it shows that 7 of these 15 publications belong to Nature, so it was decided to choose another title so that the results are not biased, knowing beforehand the intense activity editorial in the field of web 2.0. The assessment of these 16 journals will be done through a checklist which will take account the following indicators: interaction, participation, interoperability, RSS, Blogs, Forums and Communities. Conclusions: The editorial group of the health sciences major journals use some kind of web 2.0 tools, but there is unequal development in each group publisher. The new 2.0 tools, which allow comments, reviews, dissemination of results and collaboration to create new knowledge, are the ones that are starting to be used by publishers. On the other hand can be seen unequal use by the scientific community (researchers) and other users (librarians, general public, publishers, etc) of this participation and interaction tools.
