摘要
Against the common view that scientific output in peripheral and non-English speaking countries is largely underrepresented in Science Citation Index (SCI), this study shows that academic Brazilian scientists in chemistry and electrical engineering tend to publish in "good" international journals covered by SCI. The rate of citations they earn, however, looks rather poor. The reasons why Brazilian scientists publish in foreign journals are analysed and the policy of encouraging scientists to publish their best contributions abroad is questioned. © 1990 Akadémiai Kiadó.
