The quantity and quality of Brazilian scientific output increases decade by decade. However, there is a tendency to undervalue Brazilian journals, illustrated by the low number of citations compared with texts in international journals, with the tacit justification that foreign articles are of superior quality.
To investigate the differences in numbers of citations of Brazilian and international periodicals in three Brazilian journals from 2016 to 2020.
All articles published in the Journal of the Brazilian College of Surgeons, in the Jornal Vascular Brasileiro, and in Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed. The references of these studies were analyzed, summing the total number of citations and classifying them as published in Brazilian or foreign journals.
A total of 902 articles were analyzed, totaling 23,394 references, with a mean of 25.81 ± 8.59 references per article. Of these, 2,680 (11.45%) were Brazilian, equating to a mean of 2.95 ± 3.79 Brazilian references per article.
It is necessary to improve appreciation of Brazilian periodicals, especially among Brazilian researchers and institutions responsible for science funding.
巴西科学产出的数量和质量逐十年增长。然而，存在低估巴西期刊的趋势，与国际期刊文章相比，巴西期刊的被引次数较少就说明了这一点，人们默认的理由是外国文章质量更高。
调查2016年至2020年巴西三种期刊中巴西期刊和国际期刊被引次数的差异。
分析了2016年至2020年在《巴西外科学院杂志》《巴西血管杂志》和《巴西外科学报》上发表的所有文章。对这些研究的参考文献进行分析，汇总被引总数，并将其分类为发表在巴西期刊或外国期刊上。
共分析了902篇文章，参考文献总数为23394条，平均每篇文章有25.81±8.59条参考文献。其中，2680条（11.45%）来自巴西期刊，平均每篇文章有2.95±3.79条巴西参考文献。
有必要提高对巴西期刊的重视，尤其是在巴西研究人员和负责科学资助的机构中。
