Co-publishing: an indicator of the internationalization of scientific activities in Latin America

Research Evaluation, 1996, vol. 6, issue 3, 193-196

Abstract: As science has developed, the systematic transfer of scientific knowledge has also developed. Given the sparse human resources available for science and technology (S&T) in Latin America, the scientific journal system is relied on to disseminate knowledge within the region and to import it from abroad. Co-publishing by Latin American authors, particularly with authors from outside Latin America, is both a measure of the level of S&T activity and its quality. A project to measure co-publishing in the region would be a good indicator of the growth in both level and sophistication of S&T activity in the region. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
