Indicadores bibliométricos das Revistas de Enfermagem sob a ótica das bases indexadoras

Abstract

Objective To analyze the bibliometric indicators of the national and international journals in the area of nursing from the perspective of index databases. Method A historical cohort referring to the period of 2014 to 2016. National nursing journals indexed in the SciELO database and classified in the Qualis as A1, A2 and B1, and international nursing journals with impact factor above 1.0 and below 1.8, indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus Bases, were selected. Nursing specialty periodicals were excluded. The bibliometric indicators were collected from the index databases and imported into Ms Excel for analysis and data tabulation. Results The bibliometric indicators of the different index databases are divergent and cannot be compared. Lower title coverage and shorter calculation periods amplify the distortions between the indicators of national and international journals. Conclusion The internationalization criteria imposed on national journals do not contribute to obtaining or increasing the impact factor. A broader coverage of indexed titles and a longer calculation period for citations represent a significant difference in results. The h-index and CiteScore appear to be better impact indicators for national nursing research.

Profile of nursing professors in a public university: what do we need to go forward?

“…However, for the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), using isolated IF evaluation is not beneficial because it can discourage publications on less cited topics, and sometimes it can overwhelm high impact journals. 17 As for the areas of knowledge most covered in the teachers' articles, we found, that most were in the area of /adult health; followed by women's health and management. These results reflect the teachers' concern with the academic preparation on the themes present in the publications of the nursing program professors.…”

Scientific production of nursing on material and sterilization center: a bibliometric study / Produção de enfermagem em centro de material e esterilização: estudo bibliométrico

“…The REEUSP (A2) has a value of 0.257 and the RLAE (A1) has a value of 0.394. [9][10] As for the object of study, it was evident that they were quite different. It is highlighted that the evaluation of sterilization quality was the most studied theme (24.07%).…”
