A avaliação da produção científica e formação de recursos humanos em áreas da medicina: análise comparativa

Abstract

This study compared the scientific production and the training of human resources professionals awarded productivity scholarships in research by the National Scientific and Technological Development Council from five areas in medicine. We conducted a descriptive and comparative study between researchers listed from five studies involving Cardiology, Hematology/Oncology, Nephrology/Urology, Clinical Neuroscience and Pediatrics, whose variables were analyzed: gender, researcher home institution, time of doctorate, site of the doctoral institution, productivity grant-in-class research guidelines (undergraduate, master's and doctoral) and publications in scientific journals. A total of 411 researchers in Medicine, 192 (46.7%) were identified as belonging to the areas of the studies involved, predominantly male (71.3%), concentrating in category 2. The Southeast and South together focused most researchers (over 90.0%). The state of São Paulo met 63.0% of researchers, as well as hosting the two main institutions - Federal University of São Paulo and University of São Paulo - which contained 49.5% of the stock. There was a prevalence in masters (1,846 guidelines), followed by 1,674 students in undergraduate and 1,115 doctoral students. 18,456 articles were published in journals, and 56.0% of them indexed in the ISI database and 78.0% in Scopus. It was concluded that there was an important scientific production and training of human resources on the part of scholars in scientific productivity, especially for clinical neuroscience.
