RESUMO

There has been a growing interest and need in the evaluation of the quality and quantity of papers published by researchers. Therefore, the most important measurements are the number of items, the journal impact factor and the h-index. The aim of this paper is to analyze the publications of the professors in the field of Physical Education in Spain and Brazil published in journals in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The method used is a descriptive, comparative and correlational analysis of documents. The sample consisted of 373 publications of professors of which 108 are in the field of Physical Education in Brazil and 265 in the field of Physical Education in Spain. The results indicate that the professors in the field of Physical Education in Spain produced an h-index of 2.6 and 7.4 papers per researcher in Web of Science and an h-index of 3.1 and 9.5 papers per professor in Scopus. Brazilian professors obtained an h-index of 6.05 in Web of Science with a mean of 30.91 papers per researcher and h-index of 7.5 and 37.7 papers per professor in Scopus. Correlations between the number of papers per professor and h-index are high both in the Web of Science and Scopus. The majority of Brazilian and Spanish professors publish in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise and the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. Significant differences among professors of different countries were found in the present research.
