Participation of Latino Authors in TOP Dermatology Journals During 2021: a Brief Bibliometric Analysis / Participación de autores latinos en revistas TOP de dermatología durante el 2021: un corto análisis bibliométrico / Participação de autores latinos nas revistas TOP de dermatologia durante 2021: uma breve análise bibliométrica / Participation of Latino Authors in TOP Dermatology Journals During 2021: a Brief Bibliometric Analysis

A key global health objective is to promote the advancement of scientific production in disciplines with low publication volume, as opposed to specialties addressing pathologies that represent the greatest global disease burden (1). Dermatology is one such discipline, which has experienced substantial growth in research on immunopathogenic, pathophysiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects (2-4). The extent to which Latin American authors and institutions have been involved in publishing scientific articles in the dermatology journals with highest impact worldwide remains unknown.

Un objetivo clave de salud mundial es promover el avance de la producción científica en disciplinas con bajo volumen de publicación, a diferencia de especialidades que abordan las patologías que representan la mayor carga de enfermedad a nivel mundial (1). La Dermatología es una de esas disciplinas que ha experimentado un crecimiento sustancial en investigación en aspectos inmunopatogénicos, fisiopatológicos, diagnósticos y terapéuticos (2-4). El alcance en el cual los autores e instituciones latinoamericanas han participado en la publicación de artículos científicos en revistas de dermatología con mayor impacto mundial permanece incierto.

Analysis of scientific production aligned with the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy of Portuguese-Speaking African Institutions: a systematic scoping review / Análise da produção científica alinhada com a Estratégia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional das Instituições Africanas de Língua Portuguesa: uma revisão sistemática de escopo

ABSTRACT This systematic scoping review aimed to map and characterize the scientific production of researchers from Portuguese-speaking African institutions that align with the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries. The literature search was conducted using six electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Virtual Health Library, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Scopus, and Web of Science), with no restrictions on the year of publication nor language. Through the search strategy, 10,061 records were identified, of which 502 documents and 654 researchers were selected by Food and Nutrition Security specialists along three axes: 1) Policy governance; 2) Access to food; 3) Availability of food. Institutional researchers from Mozambique (66.9%), Guinea-Bissau (15.9%), and Angola (11.4%) presented the most publications and international collaborations. Researchers from Cape Verde, Sao Tome and Principe, and Equatorial Guinea institutions added only 5.8% of the total production. A greater number of publications (61%) was related to axis two of the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries. The most studied themes were sustainable development, child malnutrition, and agricultural production for the first, second, and third axis, respectively. In general, scientific publications have shown limitations in their approaches due to the challenge imposed by the complexity of the food system. However, there has been a quantitative evolution in publications in the last decade, with a greater participation of researchers from Portuguese-speaking African institutions.

RESUMO Esta revisão sistemática de escopo teve como objetivo mapear e caracterizar a produção científica de pesquisadores de instituições africanas de língua portuguesa que se alinham com a Estratégia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa. A busca das literaturas foi realizada em seis bases de dados eletrônicas (PubMed, EMBASE, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Scopus e Web of Science), sem restrição quanto ao ano de publicação e ao idioma. Por meio da estratégia de busca, foram identificados 10.061 registros, dos quais 502 documentos e 654 pesquisadores foram selecionados por especialistas em Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional em três eixos: 1) Governança de políticas; 2) Acesso à alimentação; 3) Disponibilidade de alimentos. Pesquisadores de intuições de Moçambique (66,9%), Guiné-Bissau (15,9%) e Angola (11,4%) foram os que apresentaram o maior número de publicações e colaborações internacionais. No entanto, os pesquisadores das instituições de Cabo Verde, São Tomé e Príncipe e Guiné Equatorial somaram apenas 5,8% da produção total. Foi observado maior número de publicações (61%) relacionadas com o eixo dois da Estratégia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa. As temáticas mais estudadas foram desenvolvimento sustentável, desnutrição infantil e produção agrícola para o primeiro, segundo e terceiro eixo, respectivamente. De forma geral, as publicações científicas mostraram limitações em suas abordagens frente ao desafio imposto pela complexidade do sistema alimentar. Todavia, foi houve uma evolução quantitativa nas publicações na última década; além disso, maior participação de pesquisadores de instituições africanas de língua portuguesa pode ser vislumbrada.

Disparidade de Gênero na Autoria Principal e Sênior em Periódicos Brasileiros de Cardiologia / Gender Disparity in First and Senior Authorship in Brazilian Cardiology Journals

Resumo Fundamento: Apesar da importância das mulheres na pesquisa clínica, não existe uma avaliação da fração de mulheres em posições de autoria nos periódicos de cardiologia da SBC. Objetivos: Avaliar a fração de mulheres autoras na International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences (IJCS) e nos Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia (ABC Cardiol) nas últimas décadas. Métodos: Realizamos busca dos artigos originais dos ABC Cardiol, entre 2000 e 2019, e da IJCS, entre 2010 e 2019. Foi feito levantamento do número de primeiras e últimas autoras e do total de artigos originais de 2010 a 2019. Calculamos as proporções totais de autorias femininas e comparamos o primeiro quinquênio com o segundo. Para avaliar a evolução temporal das duas décadas, analisamos apenas dados dos ABC Cardiol. Utilizamos o teste Qui-quadrado para analisar as diferenças dentro de cada revista e entre ambas. O software IBM® SPSS® foi utilizado nas análises. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: De 2010 a 2019, foram publicados 1157 artigos originais nos ABC Cardiol e 398 na IJCS. Observamos que as mulheres têm maior predominância como primeiras autoras na IJCS em relação aos ABC Cardiol, mas os homens predominam como últimos autores em ambos. De 2010 a 2019, não houve modificação significativa na proporção de autorias femininas. Ao longo das décadas analisadas para os ABC Cardiol, houve projeção de crescimento linear de autorias femininas, sendo que a inclinação da reta é maior na projeção da primeira autoria que na autoria sênior. Conclusões: Há disparidade de gênero com menor representatividade feminina nas autorias dos artigos dos periódicos cardiológicos brasileiros analisados: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia e International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences. Acreditamos que a partir destes resultados mais esforços devam ser implementados em busca de equidade de gênero na produção científica cardiológica veiculada por estes periódicos.

Abstract Background: Despite the importance of women in clinical research, no assessment has been made of the fraction of women in a leadership positions in the Cardiology journals of the SBC. Objectives: To assess the fraction of female authors in the International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences (IJCS) and the Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia (ABC Cardiol) over the last decades. Methods: We searched the original articles of the ABC Cardiol, from 2000 to 2019, and of the IJCS, from 2010 to 2019. We surveyed the number of first and senior female authors and the total number of original articles from 2010 to 2019. We calculated the total proportion of female authorship and compared the first quinquennium with the second. Only data from the ABC Cardiol were analyzed to assess the temporal evolution of the two decades. We used the chi-square test to assess the differences within each journal and between them. The IBM® SPSS® software was used in the analyses. The level of significance adopted was 5%. Results: From 2010 to 2019, 1,157 original articles were published in the ABC Cardiol and 398 in the IJCS. We observed that women are more prevalent as first authors in the IJCS compared to the ABC Cardiol, but men prevail as senior authors in both journals. From 2010 to 2019, there was no significant change in the proportion of female authorship. Throughout the decades analyzed for the ABC Cardiol, there was a projection of linear growth of female authorship, with the slope of the line being greater in the first authorship than in senior authorship. Conclusions: There is gender disparity, with lower female representativeness in authorship in the articles from the Brazilian Cardiology journals analyzed: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia and International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences. We believe that based on these results, more efforts should be implemented in the search for gender equity in the cardiology scientific production published by these journals.

El club de revistas y la evaluación crítica de las fuentes de información en las Ciencias de la Salud / Journal clubs and critical appraisal of Health Sciences information sources

La tecnología y el conocimiento médico cambian a un ritmo acelerado y el volumen de artículos publicados cada año aumenta exponencialmente. Además, la calidad de la literatura es variable y, por lo tanto, los profesionales necesitan ser selectivos con lo que leen a partir de una evaluación crítica de las fuentes que les permita aplicar la medicina basada en evidencia. Los clubes de revistas (journal clubs) son una estrategia que se enmarca dentro de la formación investigativa y que permiten desarrollar habilidades de lectura crítica en sus participantes; también permiten promover la medicina basada en evidencia, fomentar el aprendizaje permanente y desarrollar habilidades de liderazgo y comunicación. Diversos estudios han evaluado el impacto de los clubes de revistas y revisiones sistemáticas han intentado resumir los efectos de estas intervenciones en estudiantes, residentes y profesionales. Los hallazgos indican resultados heterogéneos y limitados fundamentos teóricos. En ese sentido, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo exponer la información más actualizada sobre el impacto que tienen los clubes de revistas en la formación de habilidades para la evaluación crítica de las fuentes de información en los programas de las ciencias de la salud. Las fuentes analizadas indican que la exposición a múltiples sesiones de un club de revistas permite enseñar y desarrollar habilidades de evaluación crítica, relacionarse con la literatura biomédica y ayudar a la difusión de la investigación clínica(AU)

Technology and medical knowledge change at a speedy pace, and the number of articles published every year grows exponentially. Additionally, the quality of the literature is variable, and therefore professionals should be selective about what they read, starting from critical appraisal of the sources consulted enabling them to apply the findings of evidence-based medicine. Journal clubs are a strategy included within research training aimed at developing critical reading skills in their participants. They also foster evidence-based medicine, continuing education, and the development of leadership and communication skills. Various studies have evaluated the impact of journal clubs, and a number of systematic reviews have aimed to summarize the effects of these interventions on students, residents and professionals. Findings suggest heterogeneous results and limited theoretical foundations. In that context, the purpose of this article is to present the most updated information available about the impact of journal clubs on the training in skills related to the critical appraisal of information sources in health sciences syllabuses. The sources analyzed indicate that exposure to multiple sessions of a journal club makes it possible to teach and develop critical appraisal skills, come in contact with biomedical literature and help disseminate clinical research(AU)

Cambios de autoría al publicar los trabajos presentados en fórums nacionales estudiantiles

RESUMEN Introducción: Los problemas con la autoría de los artículos son frecuentes; sin embargo, en Cuba existen pocas investigaciones sobre el tema. Objetivo: Determinar los cambios de autoría en la publicación de los trabajos presentados en fórums nacionales estudiantiles de ciencias médicas en Cuba y sus factores asociados. Métodos: Estudio observacional y transversal con empleo de técnicas analíticas, que incluyó a la totalidad de los trabajos presentados en las ediciones 2016, 2017 y 2019 del Fórum Nacional de Ciencias Médicas. Mediante una estrategia de búsqueda en Google Académico se constató si los trabajos habían sido publicados en revistas científicas. Luego se identificaron los cambios en la autoría y se buscaron factores asociados. Se obtuvieron razones de prevalencia (RPa), intervalos de confianza al 95 % y valores p mediante modelos lineales generalizados. Resultados: De los 129 trabajos publicados, el 89,9 % (n= 116) tuvo cambios de autoría. En el análisis multivariado, hubo más frecuencia de cambios en los autores cuando los artículos se publicaron en revistas de profesionales (RPa: 1,29; IC 95 %: 1,11-1,50; p= 0,001) y cuando la publicación se dio posterior al evento (RPa: 1,20; IC 95 %: 1,01-1,42; p= 0,042); lo cual fue contrario cuando el autor para la correspondencia fue estudiante (RPa: 0,79; IC 95 %: 0,66-0,95; p= 0,010), ajustado por tres variables. Conclusiones: Casi la totalidad de los artículos tiene cambios en los autores y existen algunos factores asociados a una mayor o menor frecuencia en esos cambios (publicación, tiempo y autor corresponsal).

ABSTRACT Introduction: The problems with the articles' authorship are frequent; however, in Cuba there are few investigations on the topic. Objective: To determine the authorship changes in the publication of works presented in medical student forums at national level in Cuba and its associated factors. Methods: Observational and cross-sectional study using analytical techniques, that included all the works presented in 2016, 2017 and 2019 editions of the medical student forums at national level. A Google Scholar search strategy was carried out in order to check if these works had been published in scientific journals. After, authorship changes were identified and associated factors were looked for. Prevalence ratios (aPR), 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) and p values using generalized linear models were obtained. Results: Of the 129 published works, 89,9 % (n= 116) had authorship changes. In the multivariate analysis, there was more frequency of authorship changes when the articles were published in professionals' journals (aPR: 1,29; IC 95 %: 1,11 - 1,50; p= 0,001) and when the publication occurred later to the event (aPR: 1,20; IC 95 %: 1,01 - 1,42; p= 0,042); that which was contrary when the corresponding author was a student (aPR: 0,79; IC 95 %: 0,66 - 0,95; p= 0,010), adjusted by three variables. Conclusion: Almost the entirety of the articles had authorship changes and some factors associated to a higher or smaller frequency in those changes were determined (publication, time and corresponding author).

Distribución geográfica y brecha de género en la revisión por pares de una revista científica biomédica en Latinoamérica / Geographic distribution and gender gap in the peer review of a Latin American biomedical scientific journal

La revisión por pares es un proceso importante al permitir tomar decisiones previas a la publicación de un artículo. Sin embargo, existe escasa información en revistas científicas de Latinoamérica sobre los profesionales que participan en estos procesos. Este trabajo se propuso determinar la distribución geográfica y de género en la revisión por pares realizada en la Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública. Se analizaron las listas de agradecimiento de quienes participaron en la revisión por pares de esta revista desde el año 2010 hasta el 2017. El país de procedencia se identificó a partir de la afiliación institucional, mencionada inicialmente por los revisores, y para la identificación del género se utilizaron los nombres. En caso de existir duda con el género se realizó una búsqueda de imágenes y de perfiles académicos públicos disponibles en Internet. Se encontraron 1 628 menciones de agradecimientos a profesionales que participaron en la revisión por pares; el 60,4 por ciento (n = 983) fueron procedentes del extranjero, principalmente de España, México, Chile, Colombia y Argentina. El 71,1 por ciento (n = 1158) fueron revisores hombres y el 28,9 por ciento (n = 470) revisoras. según la procedencia de las revisoras, el 35,0 por ciento (n = 344) fueron del extranjero y el 19,6 por ciento (n = 126) de Perú; y en los revisores hombres el 65,0 por ciento fueron del extranjero y el 80,6 por ciento de Perú. La revisión por pares en una revista científica biomédica en Perú fue realizada principalmente por profesionales de otros países de habla hispana. Existe una brecha de género que es mayor para la participación de revisoras de Perú(AU)

Peer review is an important process that makes it possible to take decisions before the publication of an article. However, little information is available in Latin American scientific journals about the professionals involved in this process. The purpose of the study was to determine the geographic and gender distribution of peer review in the Peruvian Journal of Experimental Medicine and Public Health. Data about peer reviewers were obtained from the acknowledgements sections of journal issues published from 2010 to 2017. The country of origin was identified from the institutional affiliation reported by peer reviewers, and gender was derived from their proper names. In the event of doubt about a reviewer's gender, a search was conducted for images and public academic profiles available on the Internet. A total 1 628 acknowledgement mentions were found, 60.4percent (n = 983) of which referred to overseas reviewers, mainly from Spain, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Argentina. 71.1percent (n = 1 158) of the reviewers were male and 28.9percent (n = 470) were female. 35.0percent (n = 344) of the female reviewers were foreign and 19.6percent (n = 126) were from Peru, whereas 65.0percent of the male reviewers were foreign and 80.6percent were from Peru. Peer review in a Peruvian biomedical scientific journal was mainly conducted by professionals from other Spanish-speaking countries. A gender gap was observed which is wider for participation of Peruvian female reviewers(AU)

Coautorias nas publicações brasileiras sobre medicina regenerativa: assimetrias na colaboração científica internacional / Brazilian co-authorships in regenerative medicine publications: inequalities in emerging countries scientific collaboration / Coautorías en las publicaciones brasileñas acerca de la medicina regenerativa: asimetrías en la colaboración científica internacional

A cooperação científica internacional tornou-se um fator essencial para que os países emergentes alcancem novos patamares de pesquisa, publicações e financiamento. No contexto de uma discussão analítica sobre a cooperação científica global, foram analisadas as publicações brasileiras indexadas na Web of Science e a coautoria entre pesquisadores locais e estrangeiros, com o objetivo de ilustrar as mudanças ocorridas na medicina regenerativa nas duas últimas décadas. O artigo conclui que, na última década, expandiu-se a coautoria entre autores brasileiros e destes com autores de países desenvolvidos, especialmente com aqueles dos Estados Unidos, mas também, em menor grau, com os de outros países emergentes e da América Latina. Pesquisadores brasileiros também publicaram artigos de impacto global, indicando a qualidade atingida, no país, pela pesquisa científica na área. A análise mostra que a colaboração abriu portas, no âmbito global, para a pesquisa local, mas também que as assimetrias científicas se mantiveram ao longo do tempo.

International scientific cooperation has become a key factor for emerging countries to improve research advancement, publication and funding. An analysis of local publications indexed in the Web of Science and co-authored between Brazilian researchers and non-residents was carried out, in the context of an analytical discussion on global scientific cooperation and with the aim of illustrating changes in the last two decades in regenerative medicine regarding this topic. The article concluded that in the last decade Brazil increased scientific co-authorships significantly domestically and with advanced country authors, especially with American authors, but also to a lesser degree with those of other emerging economies in and beyond Latin American. Local researchers have also published on their own several articles of global impact, revealing the academic quality attained in local sciences related to the area. Collaboration has undoubtedly opened doors for Brazilian regenerative medicine globally, but historical scientific inequalities remain.

La cooperación científica internacional se ha transformado en un factor sustancial para que los países emergentes progresen en investigación, publicación y financiación. Se desarrolló un análisis de publicaciones locales indexadas en la Web of Science y coautorías entre investigadores brasileños y extranjeros en el contexto de una reflexión sobre cooperación científica global y con el fin de ilustrar las modificaciones producidas en la medicina molecular regenerativa durante los dos últimos decenios. El artículo concluye que, en el último decenio, Brasil aumentó significativamente las coautorías domésticas y con autores de países avanzados, especialmente de los Estados Unidos, y en menor medida con aquellos de otras economías emergentes dentro y fuera de América Latina. Los investigadores locales han publicado varios artículos propios de impacto global, lo cual revela la calidad académica lograda, en Brasil, en el área. La colaboración ha abierto puertas en el mundo para la medicina regenerativa brasileña, pero las asimetrías científicas históricas persisten.

Prevalencia de la publicación de artículos científicos en médicos peruanos / Publication prevalence of scientific articles by Peruvian doctors

El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la prevalencia de la publicación de un artículo científico en una revista indexada y sus factores asociados en médicos peruanos durante el año 2016. Se realizó un análisis de datos secundarios de la Encuesta Nacional de Satisfacción de Usuarios en Salud (ENSUSALUD) 2016. La variable del resultado fue la publicación de un artículo en una revista indexada en Web of Science, Scopus o Medline, y las variables de exposición fueron de tipo sociodemográficas y académicas. Se utilizaron medias, desviación estándar, frecuencias y porcentajes, además de las pruebas de chi cuadrado y t de Student para evaluar las diferencias según la publicación de un artículo científico. Se elaboraron modelos de regresión logística crudos y ajustados. En todos los cálculos se consideró el muestreo complejo de la ENSUSALUD 2016. Se obtuvieron los datos de 2 216 médicos, de los cuales el 13,0 por ciento (IC 95 por ciento: 9,1-18,3) manifestaron que habían publicado un artículo científico en una revista científica indexada. En el modelo ajustado se encontró asociación entre la publicación de un artículo científico y la residencia en Lima (OR: 0,30; IC 95 por ciento: 0,17-0,53), el nivel de inglés intermedio (OR: 9,01; IC 95 por ciento: 2,24-36,70), el nivel de inglés avanzado (OR: 21,0; IC 95 por ciento: 4,74-93,12) y la especialidad médica (OR: 2,57; IC 95 por ciento: 1,08-6,12). La prevalencia de publicación de un artículo científico en médicos peruanos es baja. La residencia en Lima, el conocimiento intermedio y avanzado de inglés y la tenencia de una especialidad médica resultaron ser factores asociados a la publicación de un artículo científico(AU)

The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of the publication of a scientific article in an indexed journal by Peruvian doctors and its associated factors during the year 2016. An analysis was performed of secondary data from the National Healthcare User Satisfaction Survey (ENSUSALUD) 2016. The result variable was the publication of an article in an indexed journal from the Web of Science, Scopus or Medline, whereas the exposure variables were sociodemographic and academic. Means, standard deviation, frequencies, percentages, and chi-square and Student's t test were used to evaluate the differences in the publication of a scientific article. Crude and adjusted logistic regression models were developed. ENSUSALUD 2016 complex sampling was considered in all estimations. Data were obtained about 2 216 doctors, of whom 13.0percent (CI 95percent: 9.1-18.3) reported having published a scientific article in an indexed scientific journal. The adjusted model found an association between the publication of a scientific article and residence in Lima (OR: 0.30; CI 95percent: 0.17-0.53), intermediate command of the English language (OR: 9.01; CI 95percent: 2.24-36.70), advanced command of the English language (OR: 21.0; CI 95percent: 4.74-93.12) and being a medical specialist (OR: 2.57; CI 95percent: 1.08-6.12). The publication prevalence of a scientific article by Peruvian doctors is low. Residence in Lima, intermediate or advanced command of the English language, and being a medical specialist were factors associated to the publication of a scientific article(AU)

Minería de texto en publicaciones científicas con autores Argentinos / Text mining in scientific publications with Argentine authors

Resumen En el presente trabajo utilizamos la minería de texto como herramienta de tratamiento de una gran base de datos científica, con el objetivo de obtener nueva información de todas las publicaciones firmadas por autores argentinos e indexadas hasta 2019 en el área de las ciencias de la vida. Se analizaron más de 75 000 artículos, publicados en alrededor de 5000 medios, firmados por cerca de 186 000 autores con lugar de trabajo en la Argentina o en colaboraciones con laboratorios argentinos. Mediante herramientas automatizadas, que fueron desarrolladas ad hoc, se analizó el texto de alrededor de 70 800 resúmenes y se buscaron, mediante detección digital no supervisada, los principales temas abordados, su relación con problemáticas de salud en la Argentina y su tratamiento. Se presentan, además, resultados del número de publicaciones por año, las revistas que las publicaron, y sobre sus autores y colaboraciones. Estos resultados, junto con las predicciones que se obtuvieron, podrían constituirse en una herramienta útil para optimizar el manejo de recursos dedicados a la investigación básica y clínica.

Abstract In the present work we use text mining as a treatment tool for a large scientific database, with the aim of obtaining new information about all the publications signed by Argentine authors and indexed until 2019, in the area of life sciences. More than 75 000 articles were analysed, published in around 5000 media, signed by about 186 000 authors with a workplace in Argentina or in collaborations with Argentine laboratories. Using automated tools that were developed ad hoc, the text of around 70 800 abstracts was analysed, seeking, through non-supervised digital detection, the main topics addressed by the authors, and the relationship with health problems in Argentina and their treat ment. Results are also presented regarding the number of publications per year, the journals that have published them, and their authors and collaborations. These results, together with the predictions that were obtained, could become a useful tool to optimize the management of resources dedicated to basic and clinical research.

The promising drugs included in WHO's Solidarity Project: a choice based in scientific knowledge and institutional competencies

BACKGROUND In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Solidarity Program, probably the largest global initiative to encourage and support research in four promising drugs, named Remdesivir, Hydroxychloroquine, β Interferon and the combination Lopinavir / Ritonavir, to reduce the mortality of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). OBJECTIVES Considering the potential impact of Solidarity Program to restrain the current pandemic, the present study aims to investigate whether it was designed upon indicators of scientific productivity, defined as the level of the production of new scientific knowledge and of the institutional capabilities, estimated in terms of scientific publications and technological agreements. METHODS The scientific documents on Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Gammacoronavirus and Coronavirus were retrieved from Scopus database while the technological agreements on coronavirus were obtained through Cortellis. As for the institutions and countries, we have considered the data on author's affiliations in both set of data. For comparison, we included the analysis of documents related with other drugs or therapies, such as vaccines and antibodies, which were listed in a Clarivate's report on coronaviruses research. FINDINGS Most of the analysis refers to documents on Coronavirus, the largest group. The number of documents related to WHO's drugs are almost five times higher than in the other groups. This subset of documents involves the largest and most diverse number of institutions and countries. As for agreements, we observed a smaller number of institutions involved in it, suggesting differences between countries in terms of technical and human capabilities to develop basic and/or clinical research on coronavirus and to develop new forms or products to treat or to prevent the disease. MAIN CONCLUSIONS Hence, the results shown in this study illustrate that decisions taken by an international scientific body, as WHO, were mainly based in scientific knowledge and institutional competencies.

El plagio académico desde la perspectiva de la ética de la publicación científica / Academic plagiarism as misconduct in scientific publication

Las malas conductas científicas que puedan cometer los autores al momento de planificar, ejecutar o informar los resultados de sus estudios pueden conducir al rechazo del futuro artículo e incluso a la veda del autor con las consiguientes sanciones administrativas, legales y/o jurídicas. El plagio es un acto de apropiación indebida de propiedades intelectuales, textos académicos, métodos investigativos, gráficos e ideas, así como la fabricación y falsificación de información, que en la ética de las publicaciones científicas se clasifican como un tipo de mala conducta científica. En el ambiente universitario se evidencia un aumento de casos de plagio al momento de analizar los trabajos académicos, tesis, trabajos de fin de grado, tesis y disertaciones cuando se utilizan software antiplagio; sin embargo, se resalta que el desconocimiento de las estrategias para evitar el plagio es frecuente entre estudiantes de pregrado y de posgrado. Con la finalidad de exponer información sobre el plagio académico, el presente artículo tuvo como objetivo describir los principales conceptos, causas, factores asociados e impacto que posee el plagio desde la perspectiva de la ética de la publicación científica(AU)

The acts of scientific misconduct potentially performed by authors when planning, conducting or reporting the results of their studies may lead to rejection of the future paper and even the banning of the author alongside the corresponding administrative and/or legal sanctions. Plagiarism is the wrongful appropriation of copyrights, academic texts, research methods, charts and ideas, as well as the fabrication and falsification of information, all of which classifies as instances of scientific misconduct in the ethics of scientific publication. An increase in the number of instances of plagiarism is observed in the university environment when analyzing academic studies, theses, diploma papers and dissertations using anti-plagiarism software. However, unawareness of the strategies to prevent plagiarism is common among undergraduate and graduate students. The purpose of the present study was to present information about academic plagiarism, discussing the main concepts, causes, associated factors and impact of plagiarism from the perspective of scientific publication ethics(AU)

Evolução das publicações em saúde do idoso na Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva / Evolution of publications on health of the older adults in the Journal Ciência & Saúde Coletiva

Resumo O presente trabalho analisou o perfil das publicações relacionadas à saúde do idoso no periódico Ciência & Saúde Coletiva, em termos de sua evolução quantitativa, abordagem metodológica, temática e instituições envolvidas. A seleção dos artigos considerou o título, resumo e descritores e cobriu todo o conteúdo publicado entre 1996 e 2019. Os artigos incluídos foram classificados quanto ao ano de publicação, tipo, temática, abordagem metodológica e vínculo institucional do primeiro autor. A análise dos dados baseou-se em frequências absolutas e relativas, além de medidas-síntese (média) e de variabilidade (desvio-padrão). Os resultados mostraram um consistente crescimento das publicações acerca da saúde do idoso na Ciência & Saúde Coletiva, com predominância da abordagem quantitativa, voltada majoritariamente para a investigação de temática relacionada às condições de saúde e ao uso de serviços e insumos de saúde. Na maior parte deles, o autor principal era vinculado a uma instituição de ensino/pesquisa de caráter público, localizada na região Sudeste. Os resultados indicam que o periódico tem contribuído para dar uma maior visibilidade à saúde do idoso, mas que as publicações sobre esse tema reproduzem a desigualdade vista na produção científica nacional.

Abstract The present study analyzed the profile of publications related to the health of the older adults in the Journal Ciência & Saúde Coletiva, in terms of quantitative evolution, methodological approach, thematic and institutions involved. The selection of articles considered the title, abstract and descriptors and covered all the content published between 1996 and 2019. The articles included were classified according to the year of publication, type, theme, methodological approach and institutional link of the first author. Data analysis was based on absolute and relative frequencies, in addition to summary (mean) and variability (standard deviation) measures. The results showed a consistent increase in publications on the health of the older adults in the Journal Ciência & Saúde Coletiva, with a predominance of the quantitative approach, mainly focused on investigating the topic related to health conditions and the use of health services and supplies. In the majority, the main author was linked to a public teaching/research institution, located in the Southeast region. The results indicate that the journal contributed to give greater visibility to the health of the older adults, but that the publications on this theme reproduce the inequality observed in the national scientific production.
