The predominance of English as an academic language in mainstream journals has been extensively studied. In change, it is difficult to gauge the incidence of publication in this language in the Ibero-American world because there are still few studies of regional databases or based in complete academic trajectories of researchers from the countries of the global South. The reasons are simple: a) there are multiple databases of Ibero-American journals, but with large overlaps in between; b) there are curriculum systems in most countries, but they are not openly available or professionally curated. Precisely to collaborate in this direction, this comparative work offers an overview of the complete publications of two scientific communities: researchers from the Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa (CNPq, Brazil) and researchers from the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research (Conicet-Argentina). To focus on the language and country of publication of this scientific production, we used the information uploaded in Sigeva (Argentina) and Lattes (Brazil) curricular system. Its use offers difficulties to bibliometric or citation studies, however, it allows the construction of descriptive statistics of the production of complete production itineraries. A relevant information to offer an overview of multilingualism, bibliodiversity and the weight of the national publication in these communities.
