Brazilian Oral Pathology (OP) and Oral Medicine (OM) have gained significant international recognition. However, no study has yet evaluated the impact of citations in scientific publications. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the impact of citations from Brazilian researchers in OP and OM over the last two decades.
This was a cross-sectional study involving 50 researchers linked to postgraduate programs in OP/OM. Data collected from each professional's Lattes curriculum included gender, academic affiliation, the corporate category of the institution, and location. The number of papers published and citations received between 2004 to 2013 and 2014 to 2023 was also collected from the Web of Science database.
Most researchers were male (56%) and from public institutions (90%), mainly in the Southeast region (60%). Over two decades, they collectively published 8,033 scientific articles, with significant growth (p<0.001) from to 2004-2013 to 2014-2023. While the average citations per researcher did not differ significantly between 2004-2013 and 2014-2023 (p=0.538), there was a notable 67.67% increase in citations in the last decade.
Brazilian researchers in the areas of OP and OM have demonstrated a significant academic impact over the past two decades, with a marked increase in publications and citations over the last ten years. This highlights the contribution of Brazilians to the global scientific community in these areas.
巴西口腔病理学（OP）和口腔医学（OM）在国际上得到了广泛认可。然而，目前尚无研究评估科学出版物中的引文对其产生的影响。因此，本研究旨在分析过去二十年巴西 OP 和 OM 领域研究人员的引文影响力。
这是一项横断面研究，涉及 50 名与 OP/OM 研究生课程相关的研究人员。从每位专业人员的 Lattes 课程中收集的数据包括性别、学术隶属关系、机构的企业类别和地理位置。还从 Web of Science 数据库中收集了 2004 年至 2013 年和 2014 年至 2023 年期间发表的论文数量和收到的引用数量。
大多数研究人员为男性（56%），来自公立机构（90%），主要来自东南部地区（60%）。在过去二十年中，他们共发表了 8033 篇科学文章，2004-2013 年至 2014-2023 年期间呈显著增长（p<0.001）。虽然 2004-2013 年和 2014-2023 年期间每位研究人员的平均引文数没有显著差异（p=0.538），但最后十年的引文数增长了 67.67%。
过去二十年，巴西 OP 和 OM 领域的研究人员表现出了显著的学术影响力，过去十年发表的文章和引文数量显著增加。这突显了巴西人在这些领域对全球科学界的贡献。
