Trends in Behavior Analysis .
“Brazil has the largest number of
undergraduate professional courses in Psychology in the world, so far more than
220. Of those, most offer Behavior Analysis courses, some only introductory
disciplines, others a full training including practical work in the field. About 30 universities offer
graduate courses, both basic and applied, with 15 of them leading to the PhD.
This volume of activity, production and spreading of knowledge, has been going
on for 55 years, since Professor Fred S. Keller went to the University of Sao Paulo
as a Fulbright Scholar in 1961. Everything considered, Brazil is second only to
the United States of America in both number of researchers and of publications
on Behavior Analysis.
All that notwithstanding, Brazilians are underrepresented in citations. That is
understandable when we publish in Portuguese. Only people in Portugal (Europe),
Angola, Mozambique, Cabo Verde (Africa), Timor East, Goa and Macau (Asia) can
read what we publish in our common language (for the Asians, usually their
second language). But Brazilians are also underrepresented even when publishing
in English in major Behavior Analysis periodicals and books published in the US. Even Brazilian authors publishing
there undercite Brazilian researchers. Citing is behavior, under the infuence
of all variables that infuence choice. Having no way of directly control the
environment of authors, we can at least enrich that environment. Trends in
Behavior Analysis, Volume 1.01 is here offered online, for download, as an
opportunity to make more of the Brazilian production available
internationally.”
