The subject of research evaluation in Argentine universities requires an analysis within the historical and political context, of its system of science and technology, of the history of the institutions that constitute it, and the cultures of its different disciplinary communities. A conflictive process by nature, it brings into play relations of power and selective distribution of resources. Managing this process requires administrating a tension between two conflictive worldviews –one forged in the contribution to the discipline, and the other one oriented to market and society. However, to contribute with the construction of a society based in knowledge, this problem is minor compared to the need to reform the statutes that regulate the investigators’ agenda, the reorientation of funding instruments of innovation and the creation of systemic conditions for non-risk investments based in science and technology.
