Abstract

This paper aims to observe and describe the bibliometric research picture in Argentina in the period between 1984 and 2012, based on analysis of the publications of argentine authors located in web search engines, subject repositories and regional and international databases. It interprets forms lining the items studied focusing attention on the following indicators: volume and evolution of scientific production, type of literature, language, subject-matter and analysis unit. It calculates co-authorship index and rates of national and international collaboration. Also it shows the existence of some research groups and the affiliation institutions of main authors, characterizing their research topics and journals and congresses where they published more frequently.
