Description
Summary:<br /><p class="p2"><span class="s1"> </span>The paper examines the location and relative performance of Argentine research institutions, taking as a reference point the rankings and arrangements of Latin American organizations. It also emphasizes the importance of consolidating a culture of evaluation at the local level and advocates for the generation of appropriate indicators and procedures. The characteristics and limitations of the available global rankings are reviewed and those that show a higher level of coverage of Latin American universities and research institutions are chosen as a reference. The results and conclusions obtained from these rankings, which are strongly related to the volume of production, large institutions and aggregate indicators, are then compared to others in order to highlight the relevance of breaking them down so that other dimensions of quality, performance and excellence appear and allow smaller research institutes to be made visible that would otherwise be hidden behind the averages.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
