Linguistic circuits of Latin American scientific production

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

Given the current role of scientific production published in journals, it is essential to understand their linguistic circulation patterns. To this end, we examined the journals and articles included in Scopus and Web of Science to demonstrate their lack of representation and diversity, especially for Latin American scientific production. One of the main objectives of this work is to make visible a corpus of scientific production published in Latin America. To this end, we analyzed more than 900,000 articles and 1.720 scientific journals. Both the volume of articles and the number of journals analyzed reveal a dynamic regional circulation space with strong socio-historical roots, characterized by non-commercial open access and predominantly multilingual. From the concept of linguistic circuit, we conclude how important is this increasing multilingualism for the development and internationalization of Latin American science.

Keywords:
Scientific production; Latin America; Linguistic circuits.
