Fiscal transparency is known to influence the quality of public resource management, in terms of a more efficient and effective allocation of these scarce resources. In view of the relevance of this subject, the objective of this work was to produce a bibliometric study, at the global level, of the literature associated with the influence caused by fiscal transparency on the efficiency and effectiveness of public spending on health and also to undertake a brief literature review addressing the main concepts on the subject. The bibliometric analysis was carried out based on data collected from Scielo, Portal de Periodicos Capes (subject search), Scopus and Web of Science databases. Publications from the last 20 years were evaluated, identifying 131 authors and 52 scientific journals. The results show that the effects of fiscal transparency on the efficiency and effectiveness of public spending are the subject of scientific study in various social spheres, such as education, human development and public safety, among others. On the other hand, the health theme is the most addressed among authors and journals with at least two published articles.

Objective: To verify bibliometric indicators of the scientific production available in online journals that approach workplace bullying and nursing. Method: A bibliometric study making use of Bradford’s law, Zipf’s law, and textual statistics was carried out with publications in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, made available in national and international databases, from 2000 to 2016. Results: The sample was made up of 111 publications. The main authors had connections with 91 institutions distributed in 24 countries. The United States, Brazil, and Australia were the countries with the most publications. The populations of the studies were made up of nursing professionals and students, and the hospital environment was the most studied setting. The journals with a higher number of publications have international scientific influence. The terms that presented greater semantic power and high frequency in the abstracts were: bullying; assedio moral; and acoso laboral. Conclusion: Indicators showed that workplace bullying occurs in the nursing work environments of several countries, and the number of publications on this theme has tended to increase. Diversifying methods and study settings is important to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and fight against this violence.

This study aimed to analyze the 100 most-cited articles on intraoral squamous cell carcinoma and its risk factors. A literature search was conducted on November 12, 2020 using the Web of Science database. Bibliometric data were collected after study selection. Bibliometric maps were generated using VOSviewer software. Articles were ranked based on the number of citations, ranging from 108 to 1513 per study. Eleven studies presented at least 400 citations. Articles were published between 1950 and 2017 and were mostly case-control studies (n = 39) and narrative reviews (n = 29). The author and institution in most articles were S. Franceschi (n = 10) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (n = 10), respectively. The most prominent countries were the United States (n = 35), the United Kingdom (n = 16), and France (n = 9). Among the 100 most-cited articles, only one article was from Brazil, and the authors were affiliated with the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research. Bibliometric maps showed strong associations between the terms alcohol, smoked/smokeless tobacco, and human papillomavirus. Emerging terms, such as areca nut and betel quid, were cited in recent articles. In conclusion, alcohol, tobacco, and human papillomavirus were the most prominent risk factors. Case-control design was the most common study design, and the majority of studies were conducted in the United States by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
