Periódicos Latino-Americanos: avaliação das características formais e sua relação com a qualidade científica
Foram analisadas as caracteristicas formais de um grupo de 311 titulos de periodicos latino-americanos de ciencias da saude dos seguintes paises: Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Cuba, Costa Rica, Mexico e Venezuela, indexados nas bases de dados LILACS e MEDLINE. O objetivo inicial foi analisar se as caracteristicas formais dos periodicos estao relacionadas a qualidade cientifica dos mesmos. O objetivo final do estudo era definir um modelo de formulario que pudesse servir para uma analise inicial dos periodicos que se candidatam a ser indexados na base de dados LILACS. Foi adotado, com algumas alteracoes, o modelo de Braga e Oberhofer5. Os titulos indexados nas duas bases de dados selecionadas serviram como grupo controle e tiveram um alto indice de desempenho, comprovando a hipotese inicial. Esse desempenho, porem, foi influenciado principalmente por duas variaveis do modelo: duracao e indexacao. Considerando-se que 35% dos titulos tem menos de 10 anos e 23,7% tem entre 11 e 20 anos de existencia, concluiu-se que a pontuacao dessas variaveis tera de ser adaptada para que o modelo possa ser utilizado com periodicos latino-americanos.
