“…As noted in an earlier study, the unbalanced and asymmetric international collaboration introduces profound distortions in the qualitative data of scientific production (citations, impact, world impact) of numerous countries and in the world, thus interfering in the expectations of scientific, technological, social, and economic development of the countries dependent on this type of international cooperation [14]. In this sense, in a recent article, Silva [22] deals with the relationship between productivity aspects and the quality of scientific production in the countries. The author makes severe criticism regarding comparisons of the scientific performance of Latin American countries.…”

The article presents an analysis of scientific production and impact among 35 most productive countries in the world. In the period 2000-2016, these countries produced 92% of the world publications. A correlation of international collaboration and scientific impact is shown. Differently from this pattern, Brazil shows high quantitative performance but low scientific impact, which is attributed to its low level of international collaboration. By contrast, instead of a generalized cooperation, as many undeveloped countries do, Brazil uses its internal effort to explore cooperation in a more symmetrical manner. Thus, in several areas, Brazil occupies a prominent position, including technological sectors, enabling it to occupy the eighth world's economy position. The data confirm that an efficient internal scientific effort combined with well-balanced international cooperation can be more effective to enable countries to achieve higher levels of development in order to meet their technical and socioeconomic challenges. Brazil was able to reach the first step but did not follow the same track concerning higher scientific impact.

“…Additionally, an important remark regards the controversy about the quality of Brazilian scientific publication, illustrated with some newspaper articles commenting on the (lack of) quality and its (in)efficiency. An answer to that 38 shows arguments and sources of bias that, considering the dubio pro reo principle, make it problematic to question the quality and efficiency of Brazilian science for reasons mentioned in those newspaper articles. Again, the main problem becomes whatever indicators are chosen for scientometric analysis.…”

Trends in general and public health scientific output of authors affiliated to Brazilian institutions among high-impact and SciELO journals: 1995-2019

This study aimed to assess the percentage of articles with authors affiliated to Brazilian institutions in high-impact journals and SciELO journals and to evaluate trends in 5-year citations according to the author's affiliation and journal category. Bibliometric data were obtained using Scopus database from 1995 to 2019. Publications were selected from four journal categories: High-impact General Health (HGH), High-impact Public Health (HPH), SciELO General Health (SGH) and SciELO Public Health (SPH). The number of citations that were received five years after publication and the percentage of publications with any author affiliated to Brazil were calculated by each year. The same 146 journals were followed. There was a significant increase in percentage of articles with authors affiliated to Brazilian institutions in all sets of journals. Among HGH, there was an increasing from 0.3% to 1.5% between 1995-2019, for HPH from 1% to 3%, for SGH from 49.7% to 55.4%, and for SPH from 47.4% to 71.9%. There was a significant (p < 0.01) increase in the mean of 5-year citations in all groups and Brazilian affiliated articles increased more than average. For each 10 years, average HGH articles increased 11.9 citations and Brazilian affiliated articles 32.0 citations. The results suggest that the presence of Brazilian science is increasing, and the scientific impact has increased more than average.

“…2 It is important noting that the number of Brazilian periodicals comprising the database of international publications in the 2011-2016 period increased by 400%, which might have influenced the difference in the metrics previously cited. 5 Regarding the proportion of collaborations in Health Sciences and Biological Sciences, the United States was Brazil's main partner (40% to 50%), followed by European countries and Argentina. 2 Papers published in partnership in Health Sciences have the highest citation impact, ranging from 4.13 (Spain) to 15.51 (Russia).…”

In a report by Clarivate Analytics for the Brazilian Coordination for the Improvement of Higher-Level-Education Personnel (CAPES) about the Brazilian research productivity between 2013 and 2018, Brazil ranked 13th (250 680 publications) among countries with the highest research productivity, corresponding to 11% and 16% of the first ranked countries, United States and China, respectively. 1,2 In that period, the publications in Brazil increased by 30%, twice the global mean, 2 with over 50 000 articles published in 2018 only. A good example of that increase has been described in the study analyzing the number of papers published in Nature and Science from the
