CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The use of rigorous scientific methods has contributed towards developing scientific articles of excellent methodological quality.This has made it possible to promote their citation and increase the impact factor. Brazilian periodicals have had to adapt to certain quality standards demanded by these indexing organizations, such as the content and the number of original articles published in each issue. This study aimed to evaluate the methodological adequacy of two Brazilian periodicals within the field of cardiology that are indexed in several databases and freely accessible through the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and which are now indexed by the Web of Science (Institute for Scientific Information, ISI). DESIGN AND SETTING:Descriptive study at Brazilian Cochrane Center. METHODS:All the published articles were evaluated according to merit assessment (content) and form assessment (performance).RESULTS: Ninety-six percent of the articles analyzed presented study designs that were adequate for answering the objectives.CONCLUSIONS: These two Brazilian periodicals within the field of cardiology published methodologically adequate articles, since they followed the quality standards. Thus, these periodicals can be considered both for consultation and as vehicles for publishing future articles. For further analyses, it is essential to apply other indicators of scientific activity such as bibliometrics, which evaluates quantitative aspects of the production, dissemination and use of information, and scientometrics, which is also concerned with the development of science policies, within which it is often superimposed on bibliometrics.RESUMO CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: A utilização de métodos científicos rigorosos tem contribuído para o desenvolvimento de artigos científicos de excelente qualidade metodológica, o que permite a promoção da sua citação, bem como o aumento do fator de impacto. Os periódicos nacionais tiveram que se adequar a alguns padrões de qualidade exigidos pelos indexadores, como por exemplo o conteúdo e o número de artigos originais publicados em cada fascículo. O objetivo foi avaliar a adequação metodológica de dois periódicos brasileiros, na área de cardiologia, indexados em várias bases de dados e disponíveis em livre acesso na Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e atualmente indexados na Web of Science (Institute for Scientific Information, ISI). TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo descritivo realizado no Centro Cochrane do Brasil.MÉTODO: Todos os artigos foram avaliados quanto ao mérito (conteúdo) e quanto à forma (desempenho).RESULTADO: Foi observada uma taxa de 96% de adequação metodológica entre os artigos avaliados, que apresentaram desenho de estudo adequado para responder o objetivo proposto.CONCLUSÕES: Esses dois periódicos brasileiros na área da cardiologia publicaram artigos metodologicamente adequados, considerando os critérios de qualidade utilizados. Assim, esses periódicos podem ser considerados para consulta e como veículos para a publ...
