Resumen

La producción de ciencia es uno de los factores críticos de desarrollo para los países. Tradicionalmente, en Latinoamérica, los indicadores de desarrollo de la ciencia en términos de publicaciones e impacto se encuentran más alejados de los estándares de países con mayor desarrollo científico y tecnológico. Se evaluaron estos indicadores en general y específicamente en Psicología, mediante un análisis de la productividad latinoamericana de artículos científicos entre 1996 y 2008 en las bases SCOPUS y Web of Science de Thomson Reuters. Se identificaron las macrotendencias que han guiado el desarrollo de la Ciencia y Psicología en países e instituciones así como el impacto de las publicaciones. Los resultados sugieren que Brasil, México, Argentina, Chile y Colombia tienen los mejores indicadores en términos de producción e impacto, tanto en ciencia como en Psicología. Chile, Argentina y Brasil son los países más productivos por millón de habitantes.

N2 - Science production is one of the critical factors for country development. In Latin America, science development indicators in terms of publications and impact are traditionally far from the standards in countries with further scientific and technological development. These indicators, both in general and in Psychology, were evaluated in this study, through an analysis of Latin-American productivity of scientific articles between 1996 and 2008 in Scopus and Web of Science databases. Macro-trends that guided the development of science and Psychology in countries and institutions were identified, as the scientific impact of the publications.
