Elite Journal Production Dynamics in Communication and Information Science (2010–2024)

dados_elite.csv contains 991,186 bibliographic records for articles published between 2010 and 2024 in A1 and A2 ranked journals in Communication, Information Science, and Museology. The dataset was extracted from the OpenAlex API on January 23, 2026, by Skrol Salustiano and is preserved in a raw state without author or affiliation normalization. It includes variables such as journal name, publisher, DOI, authors, citations, and open access status.

Use Cases

• Analyze publication trends and productivity of elite journals based on the `ano_publicacao` and `nome_periodico` fields.
• Study the relationship between open access status (`open_access`, `oa_tipo`) and citation impact (`total_citacoes`, `citacoes_por_ano`).
• Map international research collaboration patterns using the `paises` and `afiliacao` variables.
• Investigate the characteristics of highly cited works within a specific journal stratum based on citation and reference counts.

Strengths

• Contains 991,186 records, providing a substantial sample for longitudinal analysis from 2010 to 2024.
• Includes specific bibliometric indicators such as total citations, citations per year, and total references.
• Focuses on a defined research universe of journals classified in the A1 and A2 strata by Qualis Capes (2021–2024).

Limitations

• Data is preserved in a raw state without normalization of authors, affiliations, or keywords, which may complicate analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Records are in multiple languages, which may require additional processing for text-based analysis.
