In the context of the current supremacy of English as the language of science and of the linguistic minori-tization of Spanish, editorial documents and articles published between 2016 and 2020 in twenty indexed Argentine journals in the area of agricultural and veterinary sciences are studied. On the one hand, it can be seen that the process of minoritization is not produced systematically or unequivocally, but in a progressive and uneven way. It is revealed how some criteria of evaluation of the scientific system can influence the dissemination of local and regional journals in Spanish and how the topic “publish or perish” appeals to the authors but also to those magazines. On the other hand, it is detected that, with the aim of regulating writing, the section “guidelines for authors” articulates prototypical features of scientific wri-ting (accuracy, conciseness, clarity) with bibliometric criteria and requirements of quick access in digital searchers. This paper is framed within a glottopolitical approach.

Scientific production in Ecuador has followed a pattern similar to the evolution of other Latin American countries, with little production of indexed documents but, in recent years, this has increased due to current regulations in the country. INIAP has expressed its research results in technical publications, leaflets, guides and manuals, among others. Since 2014, there has been a sustained increase in its scientific production. The objective of this study is to carry out an analysis of the scientific production of INIAP during the 2014-2019 period. Results showed an increase of 3.1 times during the analyzed period, surpassing the Latin American growth in the same time. It was determined that more than 54% of INIAP’s publications include international collaboration and 62% of publications are indexed in journals with SJR index. These results indicate that INIAP has increased its scientific production and quality in agricultural research.
