In this paper, we looked at citations, major institutions, research themes and funding in physical education and sports studies from Brazilian authors to evaluate their impact and insertion worldwide.nbsp; A bibliometric analysis using data from international (Web of Science and Scopus) and national (Sucupira) databases followed by visualization of similarities. Data was downloaded from Scopus and SciVal (Elsevier) and Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) databases as well as Sucupira in the area of Physical Education as defined by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior in Brazil. Data were analysed using Visualisation of Similarities (Vosviewer), correlation, regression and variance analyses to examine the relationship between quantity and quality indicators. Major topics researched include obesity, exercise, joints, cartilage, tendons and muscles (ankle, knee, hip, shoulder) as well as factors linked to age (child, adolescent and ageing), in line with those researched worldwide.nbsp; The correlation between the number of publications per topic worldwide and in Brazil is 0.79.nbsp;nbsp; There was a concentration of publishing in the area of physical education in Brazil with 80% of papers being published by only 12% of the institutions that publish on this subject.nbsp; Brazilian authors in physical education cooperate with, and receive financing from, institutions and funding agencies worldwide, but papers funded by Brazilian agencies have lower impact.nbsp; nbsp;Brazilian researchers are researching similar topics to international researchers, but citation analysis shows relatively closed clusters of researchers with little interaction between them.

Abstract Several factors influence the citation impact. This paper constructed paths from funding to citation impact on a country basis. Country data came from Incites® (2011-2020). The (2013 to 2018) UNESCO database was used to define investments in Research and Development (R&D). An overall analysis and analyses by clusters formed by investments in R&D were carried out. Countries that invest relatively less in R&D tend to have less investment by businesses and publish fewer documents. Some differences exist in this pattern. For example, countries in the lowest investment group show higher international collaboration and publications in Open Access Journals. This leads to a higher impact but below countries with the highest investments in R&D. The paths from funding to high impact differed by cluster. While international collaboration appeared in several clusters, the % of papers in Q1 (Top) journal quartile, based on citations, was in almost all clusters. More investments in R&D and open access publishing do not necessarily lead to high impact.

ABSTRACT Scopus and Web of Science were used to evaluate papers on Physical Education worldwide and in Brazil. Most documents are published in the USA and England, Brazil being the 6th largest. Brazilians tend to publish in Brazil. Countries with a higher % of documents in Q1 journals have higher % of top 10% cited documents. Most countries increase their Top 10% score when publishing in open access, while Brazil decreases. Differentiation between country clusters is due to % documents in Q1 journals, international collaboration, Open Access, citations/paper and documents in Top 10%. Brazil researches similar topics to those worldwide. Publishing in Q1 journals, and more industry and international collaboration can increase the impact of publications by Brazilian authors.

RESUMEN Scopus y Web of Science se utilizaron para evaluar artículos sobre Educación Física en el mundo y Brasil. La mayoría de los documentos se publican en EEUU e Inglaterra, siendo Brasil el sexto más grande. Los brasileños tienden a publicar en Brasil. Los países con un % más alto de documentos en revistas Q1 tienen un % más alto citados en el 10% superior, y publican en acceso abierto, mientras que Brasil disminuye. La diferenciación entre países se debe a % de documentos en revistas Q1, colaboración internacional, acceso abierto, citas/artículo y documentos en el 10% superior. Brasil investiga temas similares a los del mundo. La publicación en revistas Q1, una mayor colaboración internacional y de la industria pueden aumentar el impacto de las publicaciones de autores brasileños.

RESUMO Scopus e Web of Science foram usados para avaliar artigos sobre Educação Física no mundo e no Brasil. A maioria dos documentos é publicada nos EUA e na Inglaterra, sendo o Brasil o 6º maior. Brasileiros tendem a publicar no Brasil. Os países com maior % de documentos em periódicos do 1º quartil têm maior % dos citados. A maioria dos países aumenta seu impacto publicando em acesso aberto, enquanto o Brasil diminui. A diferença entre países deve-se à % de documentos em periódicos do 1º quartil, colaboração internacional, acesso aberto, citações/artigos e documentos no Top 10%. O Brasil pesquisa temas semelhantes aos do mundo. A publicação em periódicos do 1º quartil, mais colaboração industrial e internacional podem aumentar o impacto das publicações de autores brasileiros.

Abstract We look at Brazilian collaboration in Scientific papers based on SciVal and Incites regarding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Data were collected from InCites® and SciVal® (2012-2021). Groups of Global South countries were formed (ASEAN, Asia, Africa, BRICS, Caribbean, Central and Latin America). Analyses included Cluster (Author position, impact/citations, open access, journal quartil), principal component, path and analysis of variance to see the effect of region and SDGs in Brazilian publishing. Scopus data were analysed in Vosviewer® for creating country networks through publication, citation and bibliographic coupling, as well as keyword analysis. SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) dominates all Brazilian scientific collaborations with the various country groups. While gender equality shows greater importance in ASEAN and African countries, Life Below Water (SDG14), on Land (SDG15), and Climate Action (SDG13), are important in all regions. SDGs 1, 8, 10, 12, and 16 show less importance in this collaboration overall. Brazil is relatively more active in Zero Hunger (SDG2) and Life on Land (SDG15) than worldwide. Brazil South-South collaboration in published documents shows higher impact than North South in some areas. Collaboration priorities vary by region and triangulation with countries is high depending on language and region.

A obesidade é um problema de saúde pública mundial, que tem sido discutida nos meios científicos, em busca de novas estratégias de prevenção e combate. Considerando a cirurgia bariátrica como uma alternativa para redução de peso, o presente trabalho objetivou conhecer os processos de avaliação psicológica anterior a esta intervenção, atentando-se para a compreensão do processo de análise funcional do comportamento alimentar. Para ò levantamento das informações foi estruturada uma pesquisa de delineamento bibliográfico em bases de dados vinculadas ao campo da análise do comportamento e materiais sobre avaliação psicológica e cirurgia bariátrica. Os resultados indicaram que essa intervenção pode acarretar alterações significativas no repertório comportamental do sujeito, considerando os diferentes domínios de sua vida como pessoal, afetivo, familiar, profissional e social. Também foram identificadas divergências sobre o estabelecimento de um protocolo que investigue e sistematize os dados referentes ao sujeito, seu repertório comportamental e a expectativa que ele faz sobre a cirurgia. Desse modo, analisa-se que uma avaliação que cumpra com esses critérios pode auxiliar na realização de um acompanhamento psicológico preventivo e interventivo mais eficaz, diminuindo-se os dados negativos cada vez mais incidentes a respeito do pós-cirúrgico.

Obesity is a global public health problem, which has been discussed in scientific circles, for new prevention and combat strategies. Considering bariatric surgery as an alternative to weight reduction, the present study aimed to understand the psychological evaluation processes prior to this intervention, with attention to the feeding behavior functional analysis. The survey was structured as a bibliographic research on the field of behavioral analysis, on psychological assessment and bariatric surgery. The results pointed out that such intervention can lead to a significant change in the behavioral repertoire of the subject, considering the various aspects of your life. Besides, it was identified a disagreement about the protocol establishment to investigate and sistematize the data referring to the subject, your behavioral repertoire and the expectation about the surgery for an appropriate psychological evaluation.
