Resumen:
Argentina represents a complex and interesting case to explore new forms of scientific peripheriality. After a period of military dictatorships and economic crisis (1976-2003), it emerges currently as a dynamic, predominantly public and professionalized scientific field. Research capacities and material resources have increased geometrically in the last decade, but it is structurally heterogeneous due to segmented circuits and an unequal distribution of scientific power between disciplines and institutions. Scientific policies are concentrating full-time researchers and material resources at CONICET, widening the distance with public Universities located in the hinterlands and increasing the division between research and teaching. Diverse evaluative cultures are consolidating according with the institution: one clearly internationalized at CONICET and another more nationally-oriented at the public universities. Considering its relevant position as a peripheral center in Latin America, its national publishing circuit is quite isolated: most of the local journals are not indexed and are distributed in small circles fed by nationally-oriented scientists.
