A map of what Brazil knows
Brazil produces a great deal of good science and has almost no way of seeing what it knows. This journal exists to change that.
Between 2021 and 2024, Brazilian graduate programmes produced 754,576 distinct articles. About half of them are ranked by Scopus or the Journal Citation Reports, and nearly half of those are in first-quartile journals — 181,790 articles, across biodiversity, tropical agriculture, arboviruses, renewable grids, public health and climate.
The half that no index reaches is not the weak half. What it lacks is not quality; it is readers. Nobody is assembling what this country knows.
