Description
Summary:Abstract: The article explores the scientific asymmetries created in the production and circulation of knowledge in a (peripheral) biotechnological laboratory in southern Chile. The research is based on two theoretical assumptions. First, the publication of articles has become a “subordinating object”, with the capacity to structure the scientific activity of peripheries; second, scientists from the periphery have had to adapt their research problems, criteria, language, and collaborative relationships to produce knowledge that can be published in high-impact journals. The results showed partial indications of subordinate integration relationships, a predilection for publishing in mainstream journals and lower citation of knowledge produced by Chilean scientists.
