Abstract (Translated): 
This is the third in a series of four Discussion Papers (DP) that make up the research How Cities are Divided: the invention of informal settlements. The goal of this series was to carry out a culturomic and scientometric study on the use of the term informal settlements contextualized by previous geopolitical and public policies analysis. Specifically here, the scientometric study is presented, which points to a mostly functional and interdisciplinary use of the term, with emphasis on African as a diffuser of publications and the Global North as their main funding source. Nevertheless, there are indications of critical use of the term, on a smaller scale, as well as evidence of the relevance of international agencies in its diffusion. The last publication in the series will bring together the findings and contextualized discussions.
