The arrival of the pandemic caused by coronavirus disease (COVID-19) exponentially increased scientific production.
To analyze the influence of COVID-19-related scientific production on the impact factor values of Latin American medical journals.
Journals related to the Medicine categories included in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) were used. Impact factor data from the 2020 and 2021 editions were used to compare the citations received by documents related to COVID-19.
A decrease in the impact factor values of the evaluated journals was observed when the citations received by works related to COVID-19 were eliminated.
The volume of information published on COVID-19 and the citations received influenced the impact increase in 2021 JCR.
冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行的到来使科研产出呈指数级增长。
分析与COVID-19相关的科研产出对拉丁美洲医学期刊影响因子值的影响。
使用《期刊引证报告》(JCR)中收录的与医学类别相关的期刊。利用2020年和2021年版的影响因子数据来比较与COVID-19相关文献的被引次数。
当剔除与COVID-19相关作品的被引次数时,观察到被评估期刊的影响因子值有所下降。
关于COVID-19发表的信息量及其被引次数影响了2021年JCR中的影响因子增长。
