O que sabemos sobre os bucconidae brasileiros? uma análise cienciométrica

Abstract

The Bucconidae family comprises 10 genera and 36 species that are endemic to the Neotropical region, with the highest species richness found in the Amazon River Basin. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize the scientific production found in different bibliographic databases concerning the species of the Bucconidae family occurring in Brazil. The survey of publications was conducted through a bibliographic search in the following databases: Web of Science and SCOPUS, using the keywords "Bucconidae" and the scientific names of the species. A total of 35 articles were found for the Bucconidae family, distributed across both databases used for the bibliographic survey. Bibliographies were found for all the genera belonging to the Bucconidae family. Out of the 29 species of the Bucconidae family occurring in Brazil, articles were found for 17 species. The articles covered the period from 1980 to 2020, and the number of articles increased during this period. Six areas of knowledge were identified in which the bibliographies were inserted. Parasitology was the area of knowledge with the highest representation in scientific production for the Bucconidae family in Brazil. Among the seven proposed gaps, the most representative knowledge gap was Hutchinsoniana, encompassing all species of the family.
