Abstract

Abstract The Latin American academic production is analyzed relating to its visibility, internationalization, and the ecology of knowledges and languages. Bibliometric tools were used to form a corpus of 2,939 studies in the Scopus database between 2010-2019, analyzed in two dimensions: the output/editorial dimension, and the input/epistemological dimension, focusing on three aspects: (1) evolution per year and per country; (2) most used languages and journals; and (3) international collaborations. The results of the epistemological dimension showed a greater collaboration with authors from the Global North, especially with Spain, the United States and England (in the case of Mexico and Chile) and Portugal (in the case of Brazil). Regarding the quantitative evolution, a steady growth was observed in Latin America, with Brazil occupying the first position. Spanish predominated as the language of publication, although a trend towards English was observed in the second five-year period analyzed, surpassing Portuguese. Taken together, the results of the study suggest that the patterns of academic production in Latin America do not show an ecology of knowledges and languages.

拉丁美洲学术生产中的知识与语言生态

摘要:从拉美学术生产的知名度、国际化、知识和语言生态三个方面对拉美学术生产进行分析。使用文献计量学工具在Scopus数据库中形成了2010-2019年间2,939项研究的语料库，并从两个维度进行了分析:输出/编辑维度和输入/认识论维度，重点分析了三个方面:(1)每年和每个国家的演变;(2)最常用的语言和期刊;(3)国际合作。认识论维度的结果表明，与全球北方的作者，特别是与西班牙、美国和英国(墨西哥和智利的情况)以及葡萄牙(巴西的情况)的作者有更大的合作。在数量演变方面，拉丁美洲稳步增长，巴西占据首位。西班牙语作为出版物的语言占主导地位，尽管在分析的第二个五年期间发现了向英语发展的趋势，超过了葡萄牙语。综合来看，这项研究的结果表明，拉丁美洲的学术产出模式并没有显示出知识和语言的生态。
