Scientific journals are a neuralgic part of contemporary science assessment regimes. In this context, we are interested in approaching a space of concrete national circulation to realize to what extent the globalization of science has affected local and regional circuits. In this article, we propose to investigate the morphology of the Argentine space of scientific journals, its historical constitution and current space-institutional mapping. To this end, we analyze a universe of 1208 indexed and non-indexed scientific journals active as of 2016/2017. As a result, we observe the coexistence of different simultaneous and diverse forms of journal circulation. In particular, we analyzed two types of locally oriented circuits: 1) one with a long publishing tradition, oriented by natural and exact disciplines, mostly published on paper and without indexing; 2) and another, with a publishing tradition since the mid-1990s, which edits digitally and is carried out in the heart of large national universities. We propose a conceptualization guided by the notion of social capital to understand the subsistence of these local circuits within the framework of national evaluative cultures and international scientific competition.
