Uso de lenguas y uniformización de la escritura en artículo de revistas científicas argentinas

Abstract

In the context of the current supremacy of English as the language of science and of the linguistic minoritization 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 writing (accuracy, conciseness, clarity) with bibliometric criteria and requirements of quick access in digital searchers. This paper is framed within a glottopolitical approach
