This paper presents the impact that the edition of an academic journal had on the development of generic and specific skills (writing) of a group of pre-service teachers participating in a research club at a Colombian public university. This qualitative research study collected data through three instruments: A semi-open questionnaire, a writing assessment grid, and the researchers' field journals, which contained the research activities that were carried out for the writing, editing and publication of this journal. The results show a positive impact on the development of generic and specific competencies in this group. These results become a benchmark to encourage the design of pedagogical strategies, which allow teacher educators, through the use of other contexts, to integrate and improve these types of competences in teacher preparation programs.
