Introduction:The present study endeavours to provide information on what are the research interests of Brazilian Public Health and how authors can be ranked.Methods: Post-graduate faculty members ISI data are analysed according to regions. Number of paper and its citations, papers' type-complexity-cooperation, Bradford's Law, Shannon's indexes, time dynamic functions, Lotka's Law, and ranking functions are examined.Results: Current production was built up in the last 30 years at a rate of 9.6% articles/year and 12.6% citations/year. 66% of potential authors were present in ISI data records, 64% achieved at least one citation. Research fields do not much depart from the traditional PH purview. More than 66% of authors have just one paper and decrease is steep. Subtle differences call attention to the South region.Conclusion: Brazilian PH is mainly committed to classical research fields and ranking among authors is narrow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
