VASEN, Federico. Las políticas científicas de las universidades nacionales argentinas en el sistema científico nacional. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2013, n.46, pp.9-32. ISSN 1851-1716.

This paper analyzes the features of the research policies of Argentinian national universities. Through a comparison of policy instruments of the universities and of national research councils and agencies, this study aims to detect vacant areas and overlapping actions. The results show three main issues: a) university research policies can be characterized as more "supportive" to in-house researchers, while access to national funds is more competitive, b) universities are the only institutions awarding research scholarships to undergraduate students, and c) policies for research orientation are weak at the university level.
