Abstract
Introduction: The publication of Brazilian articles in journals indexed in databases has increased over the last decades, reflecting the growth of research and publications in the country. This growth has facilitated the development of studies on the trajectories of the different professions, through the analysis of bibliometric indicators. However, in occupational therapy, there is still a gap. Objective: to identify and classify articles published by occupational therapists who were affiliated with Brazilian institutions in national and international databases through indexation and citation metrics. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. Data collection was performed using the databases: Pyscinfo, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, BIREME, and Google Scholar. Results: five hundred articles were analyzed. From those, fewer than 13% (n = 71) have received at least one citation. Conclusion: The data of indexing and citing of publication by occupational therapists can aid in discussion on the production and dissemination of research produced by the profession nationally.
