Abstract

More than a century room recently they have been carrying out, frequently annual Educational Mathematics Latin American Meetings (RELME) and the works presented in the event, after a revision for even of experts, the ALME is published (Latin American Mathematics Education Act). We present a qualitative analysis of the impact of publications recorded in ALME in the period between 2000 and 2009. They use scientific production indicators, indicators of impact or influence: who provided the scientific community use made of these results based on the count of citations received by papers published in ALME in the publication itself, supplemented by an analysis of citations according to Google Scholar and collaboration indicators that showed the type of existing collaboration in the scientific community.
