Exploratory study of the journal Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (AABC) of works published duringthe period from 1966 to 2012. The objective is to analyze the variables authorship, gender, affiliation and areas of knowledge that are linked to the authors of the selected articles, identified in the basis Web data of Science (WoS) through the h-index values of the articles AABC in the period. The results indicated that the 33 most cited articles received a total of 1,684 citations, representing 18% of all citations received by the 4,040 articles identified by WoS in AABC. In this set of articles, single authorship is prevalent, most of the authors are male and are affiliated to Brazilian institutions, especially universities, with the highest incidence of citation related to the area of Biomedical and Medical Sciences. Although the results did not reveal relevant news that change the profile of the current Brazilian scientific production, we sought to promote greater opportunities for reflection and discussion of the results obtained , analyzing peculiarities related to some of the most cited articles and establishing a comparison between general data of the AABC and data from the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States.Downloads
