DA SILVA PINEIRO, Emilia  and  ESTEVES DE CALAZANS, Márcia. Studies on migration flows and gender in relevant publications included in the Qualis System in Brazil. Rev. colomb. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.43, n.1, pp.171-190.  Epub Apr 20, 2020. ISSN 0120-159X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcs.v43n1.77096.

The article presents advances of a study on the impact of international migration flows and gender on periodic publications in Brazil. The increase of human mobility has turned migrations into one of the fields of interest for Brazilian scientific research in the fields of demography, sociology, anthropology, political science, law, psychology, and social work, among other areas of knowledge that have made theoretical or empirical contributions to the study of this phenomenon. The article discusses the origin of the productions published in periodicals considered to have relevant impact in their areas in Brazil. The construction of this cognitive map includes research groups, universities, and regions of the country which leads to the hypothesis that their might be a criterion of regional selection for publication in journals in the center of the country. More than to present the novelties found in the publications, the article seeks to inquire into the comments of Brazilian researchers regarding this possible regional selection as a criterion for publication in the country's center. Thus, it examines the multiple ways in which the migration phenomenon has been studied and researched in the production of knowledge, especially that published in Brazilian periodicals. The study reveals the importance of the issue and the progress made in that area, and highlights the intersections between migration and gender. The article provides a snapshot of intellectual production and debate on that issue. Finally, it discusses the issues and debates that did not make it into high-impact periodicals and analyzes those submitted to less important periodicals and await publication.
