OLIVA: The Scientific output in journals edited in Latin America. Disciplinary Diversity, Institutional Collaboration, and Multilingualism in SciELO and Redalyc (1995-2018) *

This study addresses the production published in open access by journals indexed in SciELO and Redalyc, based on a single database of a total of 1,720 journals (from 15 countries), 908,982 documents and 2,591,704 authors. It also highlights its disciplinary diversity, and trends in national and international research collaboration. Finally, only for the case of Brazil and SciELO, intranational collaboration is analyzed. The study concludes that there is a predominance of diamond journals, of university publishing institutions and of multiscalar forms of circulation. These characteristics, even with linguistic and disciplinary diversity, can contribute very effectively to the current needs of science communication ...

This study was primarily carried out to identify thematic nuclei of excellence in research that had major impact in the international literature. Twelve of these nuclei in the fields of Biomedicine, Medicine, Biology, Physic, Chemistry and Astronomy were considered outstanding and their genesis and development were described. The weight of factors such as international collaboration and network organization are distinct in these areas and the reasons for that are discussed.

Adoption of the OJS for the editorial management of SciELO journals

In addition, OJS is internationally recognized for its quality in dealing with the overall editorial process of journal production. At the same time, OJS allows its adaptation to answer specific needs of the SciELO publication system, which operates network of collections of journals. The publication of individual journals follows all steps of the typical peer-review journals. In addition, SciELO provides bibliographic indexes and bibliometric indicators on the articles published in each collection and for the entire network of collections. So, SciELO complements the international indexes, particularly the ISO Web Of Sciences.A key characteristi...

OLIVA: una mirada transversal a la producción científica indexada en América Latina. Diversidad disciplinar, colaboración institucional y multilingüismo en SciELO y Redalyc

Dicho corpus está compuesto por casi 800.000 artículos y más de 2.500.000 de autores y autoras. Se analizan también las instituciones editoras de las más de 1.700 revistas -de 15 países- destacándose la importancia de las universidades y las instituciones públicas en el circuito latinoamericano y caribeño de publicación. El estudio destaca la magnitud de este circuito, su profunda diversidad disciplinar y las tendencias en la colaboración nacional e internacional. También se analiza la colaboración hacia el interior de Brasil -a partir de la base de datos SciELO- y se muestra la colaboración entre distintos estados como un rasgo que confronta la lectura en términos de endogamia de la colaboración nacional.

Indicadores de centralidade nacional da pesquisa comunicada pelos periódicos de Saúde Coletiva editados no Brasil

A predominância da publicação de autoria brasileira em português contribui para o baixo impacto por citações recebidas no âmbito dos índices bibliométricos Scimago/Scopus e JCR/WoS, que são utilizados para medir produção e desempenho das pesquisas e dos periódicos. Entretanto, o desempenho destes periódicos destaca-se no âmbito do SciELO e é competitivo internacionalmente no amplo contexto do Google Scholar Metrics. O desafio que se apresenta aos periódicos é o desenvolvimento e aplicação de políticas editoriais em prol da valorização da pesquisa com centralidade nacional e sua internacionalização.

The emergence of journals of Brazil and scenarios for their futureI

Quality journals in Brazil have achieved remarkable progress in recent years, with an increasing ... more Quality journals in Brazil have achieved remarkable progress in recent years, with an increasing presence in international bibliographic indexes and on the Web. This is primarily due to Brazilian authors from different fields of knowledge, communicating the results of their research in English and/or Portuguese. At least 80% of their original and review articles that are internationally indexed have a Brazilian affiliation, representing approximately 30% of the total indexed scientific production from Brazil. However, this national centrality has a low impact when measured by the number of citations received in the indexes in comparison to that of journals from developed countries. Despite their performance being comparable to that of journals from emerging countries, and although open access publishing results in an extraordinary number of article downloads, most journals of Brazil face the challenge of becoming qualified to compete on a national and international level for better ...
