The author proposes a oriterion to evaluate the scientific nature of expeditions based on a seven-point scale, in which both objective and subjective elements are considered. As examples of the application of this scale, three hydrographic expeditions (those led by Malaspína, Córdoba and Juan Pérez) have been chosen, because their evaluation as more or less scientific is shown and this illustrates certain difficulties in the rigid application of the scientific criterion to eighteenth-century expeditions.
