Sumario:I undertook bibliographic analysis of 11 185 systematic papers from 414 Latin American journals from 1976 to 2006. I present results From journals' general production, Country of publishing, and disciplines.

Results are discussed in terms of how they contributed to the institutionalization of the field.
