Abstract

A scientometric analysis of Argentinian science output during two decades focuses on authorship, as a measure of Argentina scientific size. Comparison is made with more competitive countries like Spain and Brasil. A relative decline in the rate of authors increase was found for Argentina and the derived loss of positions in the publishing authors international ranking was demonstrated. The possible influence of political turmoil and unstable scientific policies is discussed.
