Abstract:

In the last few years, bibliometric studies have proliferated, seeking to provide data on the situation of world research. This study analyzes the profile of the Brazilian output in the influenza A (H1N1) field during 2009-2011. The search was conducted through the electronic search of papers indexed in MEDLINE, SciELO and LILACS databases, selecting papers in which the term “H1N1” and “Brazil” were defined as the main topics. The data were analyzed regarding the institution, and the state in Brazil where the articles were produced; journal´s impact factor, and language. The search disclosed 40 documents (27 from MEDLINE, 16 from SciELO and 24 from LILACS). The journal impact factor ranged from 0.0977 to 8.1230. A similar amount of articles were written in English and Portuguese language. São Paulo was the most productive state in the country, and 95% of the Brazilian output came from South and Southeastern regions. Language data indicates that previous efforts made in order to improve the scientific production of Brazilian scientists making their observations achieve a broader scientific audience were reached. It is necessary to assess the results of scientific studies especially those conducted with public funds in order to assure that the results will benefit the society.
