Despite their relatively similar national contexts, geographical proximity, andcomparable historical and cultural experiences, Brazil and Argentina show relevant differencesin terms of R&D systems, research assessment procedures and the morphologyof their academic elites. However, they share similar paths of integration to the internationalacademic arena, along with the prevalence of nationally oriented groups undera primarily public funding system. Diverse combinations of intersectional inequalitiescan be found when analyzing two concrete populations of researchers from the ConsejoNacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) and the Conselho Nacionalde Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), given that we are dealing withhighly internationalized academic elites.In this paper, we describe the two national fields and the target populations in terms ofage, position, and institutional affiliation. Considering the different composition by sex ofthese two populations we observe meaningful analogies regarding publication and, especially,publication in English. Finally, we discuss author positions, showing how intersectionalinequalities affect women, relating this general picture to citation impact in GoogleScholar and describing how gender territories are built among the top cited researchers.
