Evolução histórica do Fator de Impacto (FI) na base Web of Science (WOS) dos periódicos do Brasil entre 2008 e 2018
Historical development of the impact factor (fi) on the brazilian periods web science (wos) between 2008 and 2018
Registro en:
The Impact Factor (FI) has been published since 1972 by the Journal Citation Reports (JCR)
and, although it is not unanimous among researchers, is the leading quality indicator for journals
indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database. The present study aimed to present the IF historical series of Brazilian journals indexed on this basis from 1997. In the mentioned year, there
were 11 indexed journals; in 2008, 31 and 2018, 165. Currently 99 journals presents IF> 0.5
(62.7%), 54 presents IF> 1.0 (34.2%), 10 presents IF> 2.0 (6.3%) and 2 presents IF> 3.0 (1, 3%).
The evident growth of this metric, especially in the last 10 years, is mainly due to three factors:
CAPES Qualis' increasing demand for graduate programs to always prioritize indexed, arbitrated
and high IF journals for publication of the results obtained; the consolidation of the SciELO
library requiring standardization and indexing quality at its base; and ABEC acting tirelessly in
qualifying Brazilian Publishers since 1985 in order to improving the metrics, indexing and quality
of publications. These encouraging results definitely insert and globalize the science published
in Brazilian journals in the competitive publishing market.

Resumen
The Impact Factor (FI) has been published since 1972 by the Journal Citation Reports (JCR)
and, although it is not unanimous among researchers, is the leading quality indicator for journals
indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database. The present study aimed to present the IF historical series of Brazilian journals indexed on this basis from 1997. In the mentioned year, there
were 11 indexed journals; in 2008, 31 and 2018, 165. Currently 99 journals presents IF> 0.5
(62.7%), 54 presents IF> 1.0 (34.2%), 10 presents IF> 2.0 (6.3%) and 2 presents IF> 3.0 (1, 3%).
The evident growth of this metric, especially in the last 10 years, is mainly due to three factors:
CAPES Qualis' increasing demand for graduate programs to always prioritize indexed, arbitrated
and high IF journals for publication of the results obtained; the consolidation of the SciELO
library requiring standardization and indexing quality at its base; and ABEC acting tirelessly in
qualifying Brazilian Publishers since 1985 in order to improving the metrics, indexing and quality
of publications. These encouraging results definitely insert and globalize the science published
in Brazilian journals in the competitive publishing market. O Fator de Impacto é publicado desde 1972 pelo Journal Citation Reports. Embora não seja unanimidade entre os pesquisadores é um dos indicadores de qualidade para as revistas indexadas
na base Web of Science. O presente estudo teve por objetivos apresentar a série histórica do
Fator de Impacto das revistas brasileiras indexadas nesta base a partir de 1997. No ano mencionado, havia 11 periódicos indexados; em 2008, 31 e em 2018, 158. Atualmente 99 revistas tem
Fator de Impacto maior que 0.5 (62.7%), 54 tem Fator de Impacto maior que 1.0 (34.2%), 10 tem
Fator Impacto maior que 2.0 (6.3%) e duas tem Fator Impacto maior que 3.0 (1,3%). O evidente
crescimento desta métrica, especialmente nos últimos 10 anos, se deve principalmente a três
fatores: a crescente exigência do indicador Qualis da CAPES aos programas de Pós-graduação
para que priorizem sempre revistas indexadas, arbitradas e de elevado Fator de Impacto para
publicação dos resultados obtidos; a consolidação da biblioteca SciELO exigindo padronização
e qualidade para indexação na sua base; e a Associação dos Editores Científicos qualificando
incansavelmente e desde 1985 os Editores brasileiros com vistas à melhoria das métricas, das
indexações e da qualidade das publicações. Estes resultados animadores inserem e globalizam
definitivamente a ciência publicada nas revistas brasileiras no competitivo mercado editorial.
