This is a comparative bibliometric study of the two main scientific journals in the Public Health field in Brazil: Cadernos de Saúde Pública (CSP) and Revista de Saúde Pública (RSP). Twenty-four issues of each periodical were analyzed, published from 1996 to 2003, comprising a sample of 819 articles (496 from CSP and 323 from RSP). The following elements in the articles were identified and analyzed: thematic area of the article and citation pattern of publications (articles in periodicals, books and/or book chapters, theses/dissertations, Internet documents, "gray" literature, and other types of publications). The resulting data showed that the majority of the articles represent the sub-area of "epidemiology". The citation pattern in the journals showed articles in periodicals in first place, followed by citations of books and/or book chapters. Papers in the sub-area "social sciences in health" published in CSP are exceptions, since books and chapters are the most frequently cited. The authors discuss the implications of the findings for the characterization and evaluation of scientific output in Public Health in Brazil.
《公共卫生学报》（Cadernos de Saúde Pública，CSP）和《公共卫生杂志》（Revista de Saúde Pública，RSP）。对这两种期刊在1996年至2003年期间出版的各24期进行了分析，共包含819篇文章的样本（496篇来自CSP，323篇来自RSP）。对文章中的以下要素进行了识别和分析：文章的主题领域以及出版物的引用模式（期刊文章、书籍和/或书籍章节、论文、互联网文档、“灰色”文献以及其他类型的出版物）。所得数据表明，大多数文章代表“流行病学”子领域。期刊中的引用模式显示，期刊文章位居首位，其次是对书籍和/或书籍章节的引用。在CSP上发表的“健康领域社会科学”子领域的论文是个例外，因为书籍和章节是被引用最频繁的。作者们讨论了这些发现对巴西公共卫生领域科学产出的特征描述和评估的影响。
