PASCOAL, Milca Inácio de Oliveira et al. Impacto da Língua Inglesa perante a Produção Científica de Pesquisadores Brasileiros na Área de Ortopedia. Rev. Port. Ortop. Traum. [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.2, pp.106-113. ISSN 1646-2122.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the English language proficiency on the scientific production by Brazilian researchers within the field of Orthopedics in the last five years. Material and Methods: The scientific production of researchers enrolled to the Post-Graduation Programs with fields of Orthopedics and Radiology from 2013 to 2017 was used. The Lattes Platform was used to survey the level of proficiency in English. Results: The results showed that global scientific production was expressive, being a total of 2590 complete scientific papers published in the last five years. The reading presented the highest score (2,8), followed by comprehension (2,7). Speaking and writing showed the lowest scores (2.6 for both questions). Reading showed a positive correlation, with significant statistically differences (p <0.05, r = 0.24). Speaking and comprehension showed a trend for an effect, but without significant statistically differences (p> 0.05). Writing did not show remarkable differences (p> 0.05; r = 0.16). Conclusion: Taken together, the results of this study demonstrate that English language proficiency impacts on the scientific production within the field of Orthopedics, but only reading seems to exert a positive correlation among the studied categories in this setting.
