Os países do “Sul” são responsáveis por metade dos artigos enviados ao PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, e o Brasil é o segundo país do mundo no número de artigos enviados, superando UK e França, que ficam em terceiro lugar.
Esta informação está divulgada num artigo dos editores Peter Hotez e Serap Akzoy: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases: Two Years of Providing Access to Innovation for the World's Poor … and Counting, no número mais recente da revista.
Veja o trecho do artigo que se refere ao Brasil:
“Brazil now accounts for the second largest number of article submissions, behind the United States. Submissions from Brazil have been extremely high in quality and cover a wide range of topics, from molecular pathogenesis and clinical aspects to epidemiology and policy. There is also wide representation from a diversity of research institutes (including FIOCRUZ, the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation) and universities. One of us recently had the opportunity to attend Med Trop 2009 (the annual Brazilian Congress of Tropical Medicine, held this year in Recife) in order to thank the community there for their support and interest. We are also excited by the large number of article submissions from elsewhere in Latin America, including Peru, Mexico, and Argentina.”
