“…Royle et al (2013) also observed the statistical significance of journal impact-such as journal impact factor (r = 0.453, p < 0.001) and SCImago Journal Rank (r = 0.438, p < 0.001)-for the number of citations. Meanwhile, perhaps because only Brazilian authors were analyzed, Moreira (2017) found that the average number of citations in articles published in cardiology journals had a low correlation with journal impact.…”

The challenge of increasing the impact of regional journals has received much attention. While funding and research agencies require the acceptance of papers from foreign authors as a means of increasing citations, Brazilian journal editors dispute the impact of this measure. This study aimed to evaluate, for Brazilian medical journals, whether the number of citations a document received was influenced by the authors' institutional affiliations or other predictive factors related to the paper or the journal. Sixty-one medical journals published in Brazil in 2012 were selected for analysis. SCImago and Scopus were used to extract the articles and their data. The number of citations a document received in 5 years was analyzed according to the authors' affiliations, language, document type, SCImago Cites per Document, and journal subject category. After adjusting for covariates by multivariate analysis, documents with collaborative international affiliations showed a citation increase of 0.17 (95% CI: 0.084-0.216) over documents by Brazilian authors. Significant increases in citations were also observed for bilingual documents (0.329; 95% CI: 0.236-0.380), English-only documents (0.159; 95% CI: 0.078-0.203), articles (1.590; 95% CI: 1.363-1.714), reviews (2.752; 95% CI: 2.355-2.972), and those under the subject category of hematology (1.280; 95% CI: 0.756-1.604). In summary, while collaborative international authorship increased citations in the investigated journals, language, type of document, and subject category had a stronger impact on the number of citations.

“…Only articles published in English in broadly indexed journals achieve a greater number of citations, collaborating effectively in consolidating the involved research groups and elevating the impact of the periodicals in which they were published. 1 On the other hand, health professionals in several countries still encounter difficulties in accessing the international scientific literature and find in their local language the primary means to keep up with new knowledge.…”

Scientific development is currently happening at an increasingly faster pace. With this situation, the scientific journals are required to commit to disseminating new knowledge with greater agility and broad propagation by the main international indexers. On the other hand, the mission of the scientific journals is also to encourage the propagation and discussion of new subjects in scientific communities, a situation of great importance mainly for those journals associated with medical societies and with a predominantly national circulation.With respect to scientific propagation at an international level, the use of the English language has been well defined as being universal, leaving those publications in other languages to the background. Only articles published in English in broadly indexed journals achieve a greater number of citations, collaborating effectively in consolidating the involved research groups and elevating the impact of the periodicals in which they were published. 1 On the other hand, health professionals in several countries still encounter difficulties in accessing the international scientific literature and find in their local language the primary means to keep up with new knowledge.According to the indexer SCImago, from the company Elsevier, Portuguese-speaking countries were responsible for more than 20 thousand scientific publications indexed in the health-related area in 2015. 2 Of these, 1130 were published in the areas of cardiology or cardiovascular sciences, representing 2.1% of all the publications in these areas of knowledge. 2 Most of these studies originated from Brazil or Portugal, countries that have consistently ranked among the 30 most important in the production of knowledge in health sciences over the past two decades. Among the publications from Portuguese-speaking countries, there is a predominance of publications in journals with international circulation, written in English, which have a greater potential for knowledge dissemination. However, about 42% of the studies from Brazilian or Portuguese researchers have been only published in Portuguese or in both languages, English and Portuguese, emphasizing the relevance of these publications for countries of Lusitanian culture. According to the SciELO portal, the number of views of articles published in Portuguese in the Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, a journal with articles indexed in the portal in both Portuguese and English, totaled more than 4.6 million downloads in 2016, while the number of downloads of publications in English of these same studies were slightly more than 2.9 million. 3

“… 5 However, the citation indices attained by articles from Brazilian authors are lower than the international mean, even when published in journals of higher impact, indicating the need for higher appreciation of the journals published in Brazil, and this cannot represent a limitation for the dissemination of the articles published. 6 , 7 …”
