This paper aims to observe and describe the bibliometric research picture in Argentina in the period between 1984 and 2012, based on analysis of the publications of argentine authors located in web search engines, subject repositories and regional and international databases. It interprets forms lining the items studied focusing attention on the following indicators: volume and evolution of scientific production, type of literature, language, subject-matter and analysis unit. It calculates co-authorship index and rates of national and international collaboration. Also it shows the existence of some research groups and the affiliation institutions of main authors, characterizing their research topics and journals and congresses where they published more frequently.

Work that aims to observe the manifest behavior of the authors who publish in Quebracho - magazine published in the Faculty of Forest Sciences, National University of Santiago del Estero, which publishes original works on Forestry. Interprets the forms of the item studied by preparing tables and statistical interpretations. Concludes that the authors have a collaboration index 3.19 per paper, using English as the first foreign language. Some empirical data on self citation is provided, and some observations about the obsolescence of certain supposedly older works which are among the most cited are made. They belong primarily to the university.

The study uses bibliometric method includes quantitative analysis of the publications of authors Argentine institutions located in web search engines as Google and Google Scholar, specialized digital repositories as E-LIS (E-Prints in Library and Information Science), digital libraries as SciELO and RedALyC and SCOPUS database, Elsevier, being the data source most comprehensive multidisciplinary and international in the world. The terms used for searches on these sources have been "bibliometrics", "bibliometric analysis" and equivalent terms in English "Bibliometric" and "scientometric", to which he added the name of Argentina to identify and work together on the that at least one of the authors included the mention of an institution in Argentina institutional affiliation data. There was time delimitation, but tracked all studies regardless of the year, being the first one published in 1984. It should be noted that a significant number of publications is being compiled studied for years by one of the authors taking this task is tremendous value in the generation of a data source bibliometric studies conducted by researchers Argentines, who would otherwise be dispersed.

Paper which has by objective to observe the manifest behaviour of the authors who published in Yvyraretá –a review edited by the Instituto de Investigaciones Forestales dependent of the Facultad de Ciencias Forestales of the Universidad Nacional de Misiones- devoted to forestry and related subjects, which has published 12 numbers since 1990. It interprets, the ways that items adopt, by elaborating tables and statistical interpretations. It concludes in which authors has an index of collaboration of 3.10 by work, use English as the first language of consultation. It is important the use of the Portuguese language which reaches 9.54%, which besides is one of the idioms in which it is allowed to publish in the review. It is offered some emprical data about self citation and some critical observations are made about the obsolescence of certain materials suppousedly old which are among the most cited and which are of high utility. The citations from Internet reaches 0.10%. The authors belong primordially to the university sector and they mainly belong to agronomic and forestry engineering, belonging the majority to the masculine genere.

The work has two parts, the first part is centered in the comparative study of the collections of serials pertaining to the Libraries of the National Institute of the Public Administration and the Ministry of Economy of the Argentina Nation. The second part, tries to determine and to present the temporary evolution of the subjects relative to the Public Administration more treated in the last twelve years.

During 1995-2002, 109 articles and 2277 references published in 10 volumen of the “Revista de Investigaciones Agropecuarias” (RIA) were investigated, except 1998-1999 that RIA wasn´t edited. In order to determinate authors´s behavior patttern: use of documental source, descriptors and languages´s prevalence, coauthors, colaboration´s groups, annual obsolescence and productivy, different index and bibliometric techniques were applied. Minimum references (in absolute terms) were during 1997 and 2001 years, but it was 1997 (144 references) considering relatives amount by volume. In respect to quotations, 67 was the maximum and 3 the minimum, with an average of 20,89 quotations by article; it was an coauthor´s index of 2,37, and 3,36 considering the 2277 references and the 109 papers, respectively. Spanish is the main language in works (91,74%) followed by english (8,26%). There was a prevalence of english as more consulted language (65,17%), followed by spanish (31,18%), and in minor proportion portuguese, french, germany and italian language (3,65%). Besides, the periodical publications were the most consulted documental source (62,41%), following monographs (28,15%) and finally papers presented at Congress (9,44%). Regarding consulted literature during the last 3 years, major frecuency ocurred during the 80´ and 90´ decades. Cattle, forages, dairy cattle, insecticides and direct drilling were the main subject, fitted with INTA´s objectives, editor of RIA. Applying Bradford´s law, core will contain authors with up to 4 works: Saini (7), Paccapelo (6), Kloster and Santini (5), Benintende, Covas and Rearte (4). There was coincidence between the subject of these authors and the descriptors core.

Trabajo que tiene por objetivo observar y describir el panorama de la investigación bibliométrica en la Argentina en el período comprendido entre los años 1984 y 2012, a partir del análisis de las publicaciones de autores de instituciones argentinas localizadas en buscadores web, repositorios temáticos y bases de datos regionales e internacionales. Interpreta las formas que revisten los ítems estudiados enfocando la atención en el volumen y evolución de la producción, tipo de literatura, idioma, temas y unidades de análisis. Calcula el índice de coautoría y tasas de colaboración nacional e internacional. Identifica los autores más productivos y las instituciones de afiliación más frecuentes. Determina la existencia de algunos grupos de investigación, caracterizando sus temáticas de investigación, las revistas donde publican y los congresos más frecuentes en los que participan, This paper aims to observe and describe the bibliometric research picture in Argentina in the period between 1984 and 2012, based on analysis of the publications of argentine authors located in web search engines, subject repositories and regional and international databases.

Work that has by objective to study Literature on Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.)O. Ktze., with the purpose of to be able to unravel that the ways uses the authors on this taxa, the languages in which were especially written and to be able to observe the languages Portuguese and Castilian (used in the countries in which east tree dwells) like vehicles of the scientific research. Paralelally it interprets, the studied forms that have the item, by means of the elaboration of tables and statistical interpretations, investigating for it the following indices: Responsibility, Type of document, Main authors, Year of edition of documents in order to be able to establish the growth of this one Literature.
