Resumo: | Introduction: The Portuguese publications in the field of General Practice and Family Medicine have not yet been assessed in bibliometric studies. The aim of this study was to analyze that production between 2012 and 2022.Methods: The Web of Science Core Collection was used to gather the number of articles, journals and citations obtained; the Journal Citation Reports to obtain the Impact Factor and quartile of journals; and Scimago Journal & Country Rank, for the comparison of data with other European countries. The search was based on the following query: “usf OR unidade de Saude Familiar OR centro de Saude OR ACeS OR medicina geral familiar OR Gen Practice Family SAME Portugal”, and a time window between 2012 and 2022 was defined. The study considered the following quantitative indicators: total number of publications, typology, language, affiliation, co-authors, geographical distribution, thematic areas, and the number of publications/inhabitant and publications/physician from European countries; the qualitative indicators selected were the Impact Factor (IF), the quartile and the number of citations.Results: Between 2012 and 2022, the national scientific production had an average annual growth rate of 36.6%. Of 389 publications, 73.8% were ‘Articles’ and 11.8% were ‘Review Articles’, predominantly in English (88.4%). The fields of ‘General Internal Medicine’ (24.7%) and ‘Public Environmental Health’ (14.9%) had the highest publication rates among the journals. The 389 publications received 5354 citations, for an average of 13.76 citations per article, and the average yearly citation growth was 115%. According to IF, 22.5% of the 222 journals belonged to Q4, 27.5% to Q3, 29.7% to Q2 and 20.3% to Q1, and therefore no significant bias regarding the journals where Portuguese doctors publish was observed.Conclusion: The bibliometric analysis allowed us to examine the evolution of the scientific production in the field of Portuguese General Practice and Family Medicine by observing an increasing publication trend and with a high potential for publication growth. |

Pretendeu-se analisar tal produção no período entre 2012 e 2022.Métodos: Usou-se a Web of Science Core Collection para obter o número de artigos, as revistas de publicação e as respetivas citações; o Journal Citation Reports para obter o Fator de Impacto e o quartil das revistas; e o Scimago Journal & Country Rank para a comparação de dados com outros países europeus. Utilizou-se a equação de pesquisa “usf OR unidade de Saude Familiar OR centro de Saude OR ACeS OR medicina geral familiar OR Gen Practice Family SAME Portugal”, e selecionaram-se os resultados obtidos no período entre 2012 e 2022. Os indicadores quantitativos selecionados foram o total de publicações, tipologia, idioma, afiliação, coautorias, distribuição geográfica, áreas temáticas e o número de publicações/habitante e de publicações/médico em países europeus. Como indicadores qualitativos escolheu-se o Fator de Impacto (FI), o quartil das revistas e o número de citações.Resultados: Entre 2012 e 2022, a produção científica nacional teve uma taxa de crescimento médio anual de 36,6%. Em 389 publicações, 73,8% foram de ‘Article’ e 11,8% de ‘Review Article’, predominando a publicação em língua inglesa (88,4%). As revistas com maior publicação pertencem às áreas ‘General Internal Medicine’ (24,7%) e ‘Public Environmental Health’ (14,9%). As 389 publicações tiveram 5354 citações, com uma média de 13,76 citações por artigo e a taxa de crescimento médio anual de citações foi de 115%. Em função do FI, das 222 revistas, 22,5% pertenciam ao Q4, 27,5% ao Q3, 29,7% ao Q2 e 20,3% ao Q1, não se observando por isso nenhum viés assinalável relativamente às revistas onde os médicos portugueses publicam.Conclusão: A análise bibliométrica permitiu avaliar a evolução e o estado da produção científica da área da Medicina Geral e Familiar por investigadores portugueses, observando-se uma tendência de publicação crescente, e com forte potencial de crescimento.Ordem dos Médicos2024-01-12info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19750Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 37 No. 2 (2024): February; 100-109Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 37 N.º 2 (2024): Fevereiro; 100-1091646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19750https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19750/15297Direitos de Autor (c) 2024 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessda Fonseca Marques, João PedroSantiago, Luiz MiguelDonato, Helena2024-02-04T03:00:40Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/19750Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T01:44:26.291851Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
