农业研究对巴西的经济增长至关重要，是国家科学中最具生产力的领域之一。近年来，国际数据库中该领域出版物的增加帮助提高了该国在全球科学产出方面的排名。这可归因于研究生项目的扩大、研究投资的增加以及Web of Science （WoS）和Scopus中巴西科学期刊的更大收藏等因素。本研究分析了2002年至2011年WoS所代表的国家期刊对巴西农业科学产出绩效的影响，并在过去十年巴西科学产出增长的争论中提出了新的问题。根据对至少有一名巴西作者的42,106篇文章的分析，绘制了论文地图，以便确定用于发表的期刊并确定其特征。结果表明，在研究期间，由于巴西期刊在WoS中的扩展和这些期刊发表的数量的增加，该领域的文章数量增加了301.52%。在被纳入数据库后，一些期刊增加了它们的周期。评估的产出中有一半发表在国家期刊上，其中许多最近才被列入世界卫生组织，这些期刊是用葡萄牙语编辑的，影响系数很低。在数据库中列入新的巴西标题和改变期刊的周期可以被解释为巴西农业科学期刊有所改善的迹象。
Essential to economic growth in Brazil, agricultural research is one of the most productive areas of national science. In recent years, an increase in publications from the field on international databases has helped raise the country′s ranking in terms of global scientific output. This is attributable to factors such as the expansion of graduate programs, increased investment in research and the larger collection of Brazilian scientific journals in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus. The present study analyzes the influence of national journals on the performance of Brazilian output in Agricultural Science represented in WoS from 2002 to 2011, and raises new questions in the debate over the growth of Brazilian scientific output in the last decade. Based on an analysis of 42,106 articles with at least one Brazilian author, papers were mapped in order to identify and characterize the journals used for publication. Results show that the number of articles in the field increased 301.52% during the period studied, due to the expansion of Brazilian journals in WoS and an increase in the number of issues published by these journals. Following inclusion on the database, several journals increased their periodicity. Half of the output assessed was published in national journals, many of which have only recently been included in WoS, are edited in Portuguese and exhibit a low impact factor. The inclusion of new Brazilian titles on the database and changes to the periodicity of journals can be interpreted as signs of improvement in Brazilian agricultural science journals.
