To avoid continuing at a disadvantage, countries utilize policies that facilitate the generation of knowledge and, as a result, have an impact on the country&#39;s development. In this context, we look for understanding how the production of knowledge policies are implemented in a public Mexican university in the period from 2018 to 2021. For this study, a case study and documentary research were used. The results indicate that there is a policy framework that promotes research, innovation and teaching according to the 4IR; however, a closer look at the persons in charge of the production reveals that some researchers produce recognized knowledge while others, with the lower academic training, lack any production.</span></span></span></div> Higher Education, 4th Industrial Revolution, Production of Knowledge, Mexico, Professors 55 69 http://johepal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-93-4&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Elida Sánchez-Cruz 1003194753284600619 1003194753284600619 Yes Universidad Veracruzana
