In the last few years, bibliometric studies have proliferated, seeking to provide data on world research. This study analyzes the profile of the Brazilian scientific production in the A (H1N1) influenza field between 2009 and 2011. The research was conducted in MEDLINE, SciELO and LILACS databases, selecting papers in which the term "H1N1" and "Brazil" were defined as the main topics. The data were analyzed taking into consideration the Brazilian state and institution in which the articles were produced, the impact factor of the journal and the language. The research revealed 40 documents (27 from MEDLINE, 16 from SciELO and 24 from LILACS). The journal impact factor ranged from 0.0977 to 8.1230. A similar amount of articles were written in English and Portuguese and São Paulo was the most productive state in the country, with 95% of the Brazilian production originating from the Southern and Southeastern regions. Linguistic data indicate that previous efforts made in order to improve the scientific production of Brazilian researchers making their observations attain a broader scientific audience produced results. It is necessary to assess the scientific studies, especially those conducted with public funds, in order to ensure that the results will benefit society.
在过去几年中，文献计量学研究激增，旨在提供世界研究数据。本研究分析了2009年至2011年间巴西在甲型（H1N1）流感领域的科研产出概况。研究在MEDLINE、SciELO和LILACS数据库中进行，选择将“甲型H1N1流感”和“巴西”定义为主要主题的论文。分析数据时考虑了论文发表所在的巴西州和机构、期刊的影响因子以及语言。研究发现了40篇文献（27篇来自MEDLINE，16篇来自SciELO，24篇来自LILACS）。期刊影响因子从0.0977到8.1230不等。用英语和葡萄牙语撰写的文章数量相近，圣保罗是巴西科研产出最多的州，巴西95%的科研成果来自南部和东南部地区。语言数据表明，此前为提高巴西研究人员的科研产出以使他们的观察结果能被更广泛的科学界所了解而做出的努力取得了成效。有必要对科学研究进行评估，尤其是那些使用公共资金开展的研究，以确保研究成果能造福社会。
