“…The high percentage of papers in open access (OA) aligns with other studies on Brazilian publishing (McManus et al, 2023c). It has been seen that most Brazilian journals are openaccess but with low impact, as seen in Table 4, different from OA in other countries (McManus et al, 2021). The increase in publications in English, even in Brazilian journals, has been pushed in Brazilian science, especially in evaluating Brazilian postgraduate courses, to increase the visibility and impact of science (McManus et al, 2022).…”

We examined Brazilian animal breeding and genetics publishing patterns to identify the major research groups and where they publish. Data was collected in Scopus and analysed in Vosviewer (version 1.615, 2020). The analyses showed that this area of knowledge is centred on groups in São Paulo state universities. Most research is on classical quantitative genetics published in Brazilian journals with a lower impact (impact factor lower than the world mean of one). Beef cattle are the main species researched, with dairy cattle and sheep also present. Less information is available on goats, poultry, swine, and equines. Research must expand to regions outside São Paulo State and beyond classical quantitative genetics. Publishing should be directed towards international journals and an increase in international collaborations. We also use the data to discuss and suggest new research areas to improve Brazil´s food security and increase sustainable animal production.

“…Funding agencies should consider results here when creating policies, especially when resources are scarce (McManus et al 2021a). Funding differs when it looks to improve impact for the country as a whole rather than for a select group (Vessuri et al 2014).…”

Several factors influence the citation impact. This paper constructed paths from funding to citation impact on a country basis. Country data came from Incites® (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020). The (2013 to 2018) UNESCO database was used to define investments in Research and Development (R&D). An overall analysis and analyses by clusters formed by investments in R&D were carried out. Countries that invest relatively less in R&D tend to have less investment by businesses and publish fewer documents. Some differences exist in this pattern. For example, countries in the lowest investment group show higher international collaboration and publications in Open Access Journals. This leads to a higher impact but below countries with the highest investments in R&D. The paths from funding to high impact differed by cluster. While international collaboration appeared in several clusters, the % of papers in Q1 (Top) journal quartile, based on citations, was in almost all clusters. More investments in R&D and open access publishing do not necessarily lead to high impact.
