Latin American and Caribbean science experienced a favorable time in the early twenty-first century, marked by increased investment, human resources training and scientific production. The new configurations require new insights into regional science, the patterns of specialization and the countries and region scientific profiles. This paper analyzes the Latin America and the Caribbean scientific profile and specialization patterns in regional and global science between 2003 and 2014, based on input and output data. This research consists a scientometric study at the macro level, based on multiple indicators and complementary data sources. The corpus is formed by 643,222 articles and 8,231,334 citations of Web of Science and 274,335 articles and 513,903 citations of SciELO Citation Index, as well as by input data on regional science. Results show that efforts of the region are not yet reflected on a greater impact of citations. Specialization patterns show the region's adherence to paradigmatic bio-environmental and western models, with wide variability between countries. The bio-environmental model is predominant and reinforces the competences of the region, especially in Agrarian and Natural Sciences, while the Western model indicates the growing specialization in Biomedicine and Clinical Medicine. It is concluded that regional and global science of Latin America and the Caribbean complement each other, follow similar paradigmatic models and contribute to a broader view of regional science. |

La ciencia en América Latina y el Caribe experimentó un tiempo favorable en los inicios del siglo XXI, marcado por el aumento de las inversiones, formación de recursos humanos y producción científica. Las nuevas configuraciones exigen nuevas perspectivas sobre la ciencia regional, los patrones de especialización y los perfiles científicos de los países y la región. Este artículo analiza el perfil científico y los patrones de especialización de América Latina y el Caribe en ciencia regional y global entre 2003 y 2014 con base en datos de entrada y resultados. La investigación consiste en un estudio cienciométrico a nivel macro, basado en múltiples indicadores y fuentes de datos complementarias. El corpus fue conformado por 643.222 artículos y 8.231.334, citas de la Web of Science y 274.335 artículos y 513.903 citas del SciELO Citation Index, además de datos de insumos de la ciencia regional. Los resultados revelan que los esfuerzos de la región aún no se reflejan en un mayor impacto de citas. Los patrones de especialización muestran la adhesión de la región a los modelos paradigmáticos bioambiental y occidental, con una amplia variabilidad entre países. El modelo bioambiental es predominante y refuerza la especialización de la región, especialmente en las Ciencias Agrarias y Naturales, mientras que el modelo occidental indica la creciente especialización en Biomedicina y Medicina Clínica. Se concluye que la ciencia regional y global en América Latina y el Caribe se complementan, siguen modelos paradigmáticos similares y contribuyen a una visión más amplia de la ciencia regional. A ciência da América Latina e Caribe viveu um tempo favorável no início do século XXI, marcado pelo aumento dos investimentos, da formação de recursos humanos e da produção científica. As novas configurações exigem novos olhares sobre a ciência regional, os padrões de especialização e os perfis científicos dos países e da região. Este artigo analisa o perfil científico e os padrões de especialização da América Latina e Caribe na ciência regional e global entre 2003 e 2014 com base em dados de insumos e resultados. A pesquisa consiste num estudo cientométrico de nível macro, baseado em múltiplos indicadores e fontes de dados complementares. O corpus é formado por 643.222 artigos e 8.231.334 citações da Web of Science e 274.335 artigos e 513.903 citações da SciELO Citation Index, além de dados de insumos da ciência regional. Os resultados revelam que os esforços da região ainda não se refletem em maior impacto de citações. Os padrões de especialização mostram a adesão da região aos modelos paradigmáticos bio-ambiental e ocidental, com ampla variabilidade entre os países. O modelo bio-ambiental é predominante e reforça as competências da região, em especial nas Ciências Agrárias e Naturais, enquanto o modelo ocidental indica a crescente especialização em Biomedicina e Medicina Clínica. Conclui-se que a ciência regional e global da América Latina e Caribe se complementam, seguem modelos paradigmáticos semelhantes e contribuem para uma visão mais ampla da ciência regional.
