N2 - In this study we compare the visibility and performance of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) Science in terms of its presence in the core collection indexes included in the Web of Science (WoS)-Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index-and the Scielo Citation Index (SciELO CI)-which was recently integrated into the WoS platform. The purpose of this comparison is to provide some inputs to reconstruct the role of SciELO as a communication platform for science produced in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to provide some reflections on the potential impacts-in terms of a better understanding of the global scientific scenery-of the articulation of SciELO CI into WoS: Are there significant differences in the region? scientific results when studied from publications included in SciELO CI versus those included in the traditional core collection of the WoS? Are regional exercises, such as SciELO, successful in enhancing the visibility of regional scientific production?
