Abstract: | Introduction The present study endeavours to provide information on what are the research interests of Brazilian Public Health and how
authors can be ranked.
Methods Post-graduate faculty members ISI data are analysed according to regions. Number of paper and its citations, papers’ type-complexity-cooperation,
Bradford’s Law, Shannon’s indexes, time dynamic functions, Lotka’s Law, and ranking functions are examined.
Results Current production was built up in the last 30 years at a rate of 9.6% articles/year and 12.6% citations/year. 66% of potential
authors were present in ISI data records, 64% achieved at least one citation. Research fields do not much depart from the
traditional PH purview. More than 66% of authors have just one paper and decrease is steep. Subtle differences call attention
to the South region.
Conclusion Brazilian PH is mainly committed to classical research fields and ranking among authors is narrow. |
