Resumo
Objective: To characterize the profi le of scientifi c production in the fi eld of endodontics in
high-impact journals. Methods: Articles published from January 2001 to December 2011 in the
Journal of Endodontics, International Endodontic Journal, and Australian Endodontic Journal were
evaluated. Various aspects were assessed: type of article, authors’ geographic origin, changes in the
profi le of papers over the studied period (in terms of country of origin and type of article), and ratio
between budget for science/technology and number of publications. Results: A total of 3,993 articles
were published in the 10-year period assessed. Basic research articles accounted for 67.85% of the
production, compared to 1.35% of systematic reviews/meta-analyses. The U.S. ranked fi rst in number
of publications (23.69%), followed by Brazil (14.22%) and China (6.42%). Despite the low investments
made in science, the emerging countries Brazil, China, and Turkey were able to fi gure among the
top fi ve countries in number of publications, especially as a result of increasing numbers of articles
in the latest years. Conclusion: Emerging countries are investing increasing amounts in science and
technology, which has allowed for a large number of publications in high-impact journals.
Keywords: Endodontics, science, technology, impact factor, journal article.
