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.
统计学证明了期刊影响因子与巴西物理学领域被引用次数最多的论文之间缺乏相关性。观察到存在一个有效的“巴西影响因子”，其值通常低于国际影响因子。在某些情况下，与国际值的差异巨大，这引发了对于使用该指标来评判巴西科学家是否合适的质疑。
