Análise bibliométrica da produção científica docente do curso de biomedicina da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso

Abstract

The Federal University of Mato Grosso at the Araguaia Campus, is responsible for hosting the only public biomedical sciences program in the state of Mato Grosso. This program, established in 2009, is overseen by a faculty composed of 14 professors. In addition to their classroom responsibilities, these professors are also actively engaged in research across various knowledge domains. The objective of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of the professors teaching in the biomedical sciences program at the Araguaia Campus. To achieve this objective, an examination of the academic output of these faculty members was carried out using the Scopus database and the Lattes curriculum platform. Throughout the operational period of the program, the researchers supervised more than 743 research activities, resulting in the publication of 462 scientific articles, with an average of 6.65 authors per article. Each of these articles received approximately 15 citations. Most of the research collaborations involved renowned institutions such as Unesp, USP, and UFMG, with research activities primarily focused on the fields of physiology, toxicology, immunology, and natural products.These findings provide significant insights into the research profile of the faculty. Despite the limited number of faculty members involved, they were able to maintain thematic cohesion in their research activities, contributing to the support of both undergraduate and postgraduate education.
