In this paper we explore how the concept “territory” is used in articles published in scientific journals of Geography edited by universities in Argentina, as well as its analytical problematization and scope. For that purpose, we built an analytical corpus of 260 articles that included the word territory and its associated concepts in the title, and we conducted a qualitative analyzes taking into consideration the most common definitions and uses of the concept. The results show that in 61% of the cases the concept is not defined and is used as a general geographical reference. In 24% of the cases, a theoretical definition is provided but there is no problematization of the concept in the analysis of the article. In the remaining 15 %, there are both a theoretical definition and a problematization of territory in the analysis. In these last two groups of articles, we found a strong theoretical influence of Brazilian authors. Furthermore, the latter group is unevenly concentrated in some specific journals, which raises questions about the universities’ where the journals are based academic traditions and their possible connections with the uses of the concept.

Keywords : Territory; Geography; Scientific Journals; Argentina.
