Open-access Brazilian impact factor of physics journals - the third side of the coin

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstracts

    The lack of correlation between the Journal Impact Factors and the most cited Brazilian papers in physics is statistically demonstrated. The existence of an effective "Brazilian Impact Factor" is observed, being its values, in general, lower than the international Impact Factors. In some cases, discrepancies from the international values are huge, leading to doubts on whether it is appropriate to use this indicator to judge Brazilian scientists.
