Sumario: A STUDY IS PRESENTED ON THE PRINCIPAL LATIN AMERI­CAN SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS IN LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCI­ENCE PROCESSED BY THE INFOBILA SYSTEM. STARTING FROM THE MOST PRODUCTIVE PUBLICATION NUCLEUS, THE LEVEL OF DISSEMINATION ATTAINED BY THESE JOURNALS IN THE MAIN COMMERCIAL DATA BASES AND SPECIALIZED SERVICES (ULRICH,LISA, ISA, LL AND OTHERS) IS DETERMINED, AND THEIR SUBJECT AND GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION, THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF PRATT'S INDEX, IS ALSO SHOWN. APPLICATION OF THIS INDICATOR IN THESE DISCIPLINES IN THE LATIN AMERI­CAN REGION REVEALS A HIGH SUBJECT DISPERSION AND A HIGH GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION AMONG THE 25 "KEY" JOURNALS STUDIED, WHILE THE CORRESPONDENCE ANALYSIS BETWEEN THE SUBJECT AND THE COUNTRY OF EDITION OF THE JOURNALS COR­ROBORATES THESE PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR, AS INDICATED BY THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THESE TWO VARIABLES.
