Abstract
R E S U M E N
La realización de estudios doctorales puede ser una experiencia altamente demandante y estresante para quienes buscan alcanzar el grado más alto en la academia. Algunas y algunos estudiantes, a pesar de haber demostrado poseer las habilidades y competencias necesarias, dudan de ellas y de sus éxitos, experimentando lo que se conoce como el fenómeno del impostor. Quienes experimentan sentimientos de fraudulencia intelectual, quedan en la encrucijada tanto del miedo al fracaso como al éxito, generando graves consecuencias en términos de salud mental. El presente artÃculo reflexiona en torno a este fenómeno, enfatizando las diversas exigencias del proceso doctoral que alimentan las creencias del impostor, la necesidad de mayores estudios, y la necesidad urgente que las Universidades asuman un rol más protagónico en enfrentar esta experiencia negativa que viven, muchas veces en silencio, las futuras doctoras y doctores.
Palabras Clave: Fenómeno del impostor, estudiantes de doctorado, autoeficacia, publicaciones.

Pursuing doctoral studies can be a highly demanding and stressful experience for those seeking to achieve the highest degree in academia. Some students, despite having demonstrated the necessary skills and competencies, have doubts doubt about their abilities and achievements, experiencing what is known as the impostor phenomenon. Those who experience feelings of intellectual fraudulence are at the crossroads of both the fear of failure and the fear of success, generating serious consequences in terms of mental health. This article reflects on this phenomenon, emphasizing the various demands of the doctoral process that feed the beliefs of the self-perceived impostor, the need for further studies, and the urgent need for universities to assume greater leadership in addressing this negative experience that future doctors live, often in silence.
Keywords: Impostor phenomenon, PhD students, self-efficacy, publications.
