Abstract

Since the beginning of this century in Argentina scientific and
technological policies show a clear interest in producing knowledge aimed at solving
social, productive and environmental local problems. The bibliometric field
has been studying the scientific production in the different countries
around the world, and there is a background that focus its attention in
Argentine scientific production. However, there are only a few studies on
scientific production focused on Argentine local issues. The objective of
this work is to analyze and describe the relation between the local and the
global researches of the Argentine scientific production in Scopus since
2008 to 2012, and compare publishing, collaboration and leadership
indicators from national and international dimensions. Results show that a
quarter of the scientific production is focused on local topics of interest
such as Social Sciences, Economy, Management, Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Earth
and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Sciences. A high percent of this production is
published in foreign journals. Researches in local topics are mainly carried out with
national collaboration or without any kind of collaboration. A third part of the
papers are made with international collaboration. However, it depends on the
different disciplines. Also, there is a high percent of local and global
scientific production led by researchers from Argentine institutions in
all disciplines.
