【 摘 要 】

In 2007, the editorial situation of seven Latin American journals on respiratory diseases was analyzed in a meeting sponsored by ALAT (Latin American Association of Thoracic Diseases). Among the major problems reported were the lack of a regular and adequate periodicity in issue’s circulation, high turnover of editors and lack of original papers submitted, that lead to a low percentage of submitted papers rejection. The present situation of Latin American journals on respiratory diseases is currently compared with the Iberian Peninsula journals Archivos de Bronconeumología and Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia, through the international data base LILACS (Literatura Latinoamericana en Ciencias de la Salud), SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library on Line), SCImago Journal & Country Rank, MEDLINE (National Library of Medicine, USA) and JCR (Journal Citation Report). The Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia is the Latin American journal with the best bibliometric indices; nevertheless, it is ranked behind Spain’s Archivos de Bronconeumología (ABN). Interestingly 11% of the 238 citable articles published in ABN from 2013 to 2015 had authors from Latin America. Conclusions: Although Latin American journals on respiratory diseases disseminate valuable information in their national environment accomplishing an educational role, their global impact and bibliometric indices are exiguous.
