Scientific productivity of Social Sciences in Argentina: Economics, Psychology, Sociology, and Political Science in the CONICET (2004-2008)

This study analyses a dataset elaborated by the author, using as sources the CVs of 414 Argentine researchers in economics, sociology, political science, and psychology affiliated with the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnicas (CONICET). The findings indicate that the researchers' publication patterns vary across the different scientific disciplines. Moreover, a multivariate regression analysis reveals that the place where the researchers' doctoral studies occurred has a positive and statistically significant association with the circuit of scholarly journals in which they choose to publish.
