Brazilian Geomorphology: A bibliometric analysis of high impact production between 2016 and 2020

Resumen

This paper analyzes the production of Brazilian geomorphology in four high impact journals between the years of 2016 and 2020, one national and three internationals. The objective was to trace the evolution of this production, as well as to verify the national and international cooperation networks created through these publications. The results showed a Brazilian production increase in national and, mostly, in international journals allowing greater participation in global scientific production compared to the previous five-year period. Further to the general number of publications, there was a repositioning of the federative units regarding international production. Sao Paulo, Parana, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais continue to be important, but deserve to be highlighted the states of Para and Rio Grande do Sul, which have doubled their production. Compared to the previous five-year period, it was found a cooperation increase between researchers from different institutions. The national and international cooperation networks showed that the most relevant institutions for production are precisely those with the highest number and diversity of collaborations. However, despite the development at the international level, Brazil’s percentage of contribution to the total of global production is still small. Therefore, the development of more technical-scientific cooperation relationships seems to be the most promising way to change this scenario.
