Abstract:	The production, dissemination and citation of scientific papers in journals of recognized academic quality indexed in the Elsevier's Scopus Database constitute the data to measure the indicators of countries in SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SJCR) (which is a free access portal developed by SCImago). In this research a comparative analysis has been made, using the linear regression technique, of the indicators of Latin American countries in the SJCR Top 5: BR, MX, AR, CL and CO, in the period 2009-2019. First, information on the portal's country indicators is presented, and then the graphs are shown along with the trend lines for the countries. BR is the country with the highest growth rate in the Documents and Citable Documents indicators. Regarding the indicators with a drop rate, BR stands out in the Citations and Self-citations indicators and AR in the Citations per Document indicator. BR is the country with the highest H index. The value of the determination coefficient is practically at least 80%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
