Abstract
Introduction: The Brazilian scientific production in Dermatology in the international
scenario was verified by scientometrics (Sociology segment on quantitative
aspects of science).
Objective: The insertion of Brazil in the international scientific production scenario
can and should be conducted from a more strategic perspective, and it is
necessary to observe the production of documents indexed in Scopus in the
Dermatology area and related topics in a more detailed way.
Methods: Through exploratory, inductive, quantitative, and qualitative research on the
Scopus platform – a digital platform comprising more than 25 thousand
scientific articles and analytical tools to extract results and trends in
the field of research, it was possible to obtain quantitative data on
Brazilian scientific production in General Dermatology and six prominent
dermatoses.
Results: It was possible to analyze and point out the most prominent dermatoses
currently in the literature and the related authors, compare Brazilian data
with those from other countries that stand out in the scientific literature
in Dermatology, and elaborate and justify effective strategies for the
international insertion of Brazilian Dermatology scientific production.
