“…Although we recognize the effort that research funding agencies, in particular the CNPq and CAPES have done to support research and human resources training in Brazil 25 , enabling an increase of 85.7% in the number of research fellowship/ grants in the physical therapy area between 2007 and 2010 26 , it should be noted that the small number of PQ fellowships in the Physical Therapy area can cause negative consequences for scientific output, especially with the lack of this incentive for young and productive researchers.…”

“…These differences, in part, can be explained by the smaller number of journals in the Physical Therapy area indexed in international databases and also due to the short-time existence of the profession and the specific area of knowledge of Physical Therapy compared to older areas, such as Medicine. One possible way to increase these indicators of quality and relevance would be, in addition to the increase of number of PQ fellows in the area, the incentive for interaction between groups from different areas of knowledge, strengthening of research networks 25 , as well as the expansion of journals indexed in international databases. It is important to emphasize that due to the fast growth in the scientific production, it is possible that the values observed in the H-index and in the other variables evaluated are not reflecting the current moment of the area production, which is in constant progression.…”

| Objective: To describe the profile and the scientific output of physical therapists researchers holding a research productivity fellowship (PQ) from the Brazilian National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico-CNPq). Method: This is a cross-sectional study, which has evaluated the Lattes Curriculum of all PQ physiotherapy researchers registered at CNPq holding a research productivity fellowship in the period of 2010. The variables analyzed were: gender, geographic and institutional distribution, duration since doctorate defense, research productivity fellowship level, scientific output until 2010 and the H index in Scopus® and ISI databases. Results: A total of 55 PQ from the CNPq were identified in the area of knowledge of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy, being 81.8% from the Southeast region of Brazil. They were predominantly female (61.8%), with research productivity fellowship level PQ2 (74.5%), and with average time since doctorate defense of 10.1 (±4.1) years. A total of 2.381 articles were published, with average of 42.5 (±18.9) articles/researcher. The average of articles published after doctorate defense was 39.40 (±18.9) articles/researchers with a mean output of 4.2 (±2.0) articles/year. We found 304 articles indexed in the Scopus ® database with 2.463 citations, and 222 articles indexed in the Web of Science with 1.805 citations. The articles were published in 481 journals, being 244 (50.7%) of them listed on JCR-web. The researchers presented a median 5 of the H index in the Scopus® database, and a median 3 in ISI. Conclusion: The scientific output of the researchers with research productivity fellowship in the field of physical therapy stands out in their indicators, since the figures are very promising for a relatively young area and as it can be observed by the amount of published articles and citations obtained by the national and international research community.

BackgroundQuotations in Brazilian journals are mainly obtained from national articles (articles from Brazilian journals); thus, it is essential to determine how frequently these articles reference Brazilian journals. ObjectiveThis study sought to verify how frequently national papers are cited in the references of three Brazilian physical therapy journals. MethodAll references for articles published in Fisioterapia em Movimento, Fisioterapia e Pesquisa and Revista Brasileira de Fisioterapia between 2010 and 2012 were evaluated. In particular, the numbers of national articles and international articles (articles from international journals) cited in these references were determined. ResultsA total of 13,009 references cited by 456 articles were analyzed, and 2,924 (22.47%) of the cited works were national articles. There were no significant differences among the three examined years. A total of 36 (7.89%) articles did not cite national articles, whereas 65 (13.25%) articles cited more national articles than international articles. ConclusionOn average, 22.47% of the works cited by the evaluated articles were national articles. No significant differences were detected among the three analyzed years.
