Bibliometric study on the adoption of open science measures reveals high scores for both Brazilian and SciELO-indexed journals | SciELO in Perspective

"Since 2019, SciELO has advocated for the adoption of open science (OS) practices through its Priority lines of action.1 These practices, including data and materials sharing, adoption of DOI and ORCID identifiers, consideration of preprints, and continuous publication, serve to increase the transparency and scientific rigor of published science. The recently published bibliometric study The promotion and implementation of open science measures among high‐performing journals from Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, and Spain2 provides the first glimpse of the adoption of these measures among Ibero-American publications.

The study2 examines the promotion and implementation of OS measures among a sample of Ibero-American journals. Analyses examined differences in the promotion and implementation of OS measures across nations (Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, Spain), dissemination platforms (international, SciELO-indexed, domestic), publication language (English-only, multi-language), and journal subject fields (hard sciences, health, social sciences).

Analyses found higher promotion of OS measures among Brazilian journals than their Portuguese counterparts, and higher promotion of OS measures among international journals than their domestic counterparts. Analyses found higher implementation of OS measures among Brazilian journals than their Portuguese and Mexican counterparts. Analyses of overall promotion and implementation found higher promotion/implementation of OS measures among Brazilian and Spanish journals than their Portuguese counterparts, and higher promotion/implementation of OS measures among Brazilian journals than their Mexican counterparts....."
