Data processing was carried out with SPSS v. 26. The results showed that self-efficacy for research in university students was of a medium level; It was also determined that the management systems dimension is low compared to the scientific writing dimension, which had a high level. It is concluded that self-efficacy is associated with the male gender and the type of public university at a high level; these characteristics are opposed to the average level of self-efficacy linked to the female gender and the type of university; regarding self-efficacy for research.
