- e main objective of the present research is to characterise the scientific contributions regarding metric information studiesof Latin American and the Caribbean to Scientometrics journal, since 1978 to the present and from the perspective of eachcountry's participation, the thematic profile and nature of the research and the journals that constitute the production's intellectualfoundation. Results show that 11 countries from the region have contributed at least once to the journal, with a predominance ofBrazil, Mexico, Cuba, Chile, Colombia and Argentina. Since the 2000s, the growth trend is exponential. Concerning the thematicprofile, applied studies about the production of disciplinary and institutional domains prevail. Among the sources that constitutethe intellectual foundation, Scientometrics journal itself and other international core journals of the field, as well as journals fromother disciplines, are found. ere's little presence of regional journals. In conclusion, although there's a scarce presence of regionalauthors in the journal, the Latin-American community devoted to MIS shows clear interest in generating a discussion with theinternational community specialised in this field of study.
