This paper presents the results of a study of the distribution of the first significant digits of the number of articles published of journals indexed in the JCR Sciences and Social Sciences Editions from 2007 to 2011. The data of these journals were also analyzed by the country of origin and the journals category. Results considering the number of articles published informed by Scopus are also presented. Comparing the results we observe that there is a significant difference in the data informed in the two databases. %@area COMP %@electronicmailaddress alexdonizeti@gmail.com %@electronicmailaddress horacio@lac.inpe.br %@e-mailaddress alexdonizeti@gmail.com %@documentstage not transferred %@group CAP-COMP-SPG-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@group LAC-CTE-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES; COMPENDEX; SCOPUS. %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup lattes %@usergroup marcelo.pazos@inpe.br %@usergroup marciana %@usergroup self-uploading-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3ESGTTP 8JMKD3MGPCW/3F2PHGS %@resumeid %@resumeid 8JMKD3MGP5W/3C9JHCP %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Aeronautic Institute of Technology, ITA, Praça Marechal Eduardo Gomes, 50, Vila das Acácias, São José dos Campos-SP %@versiontype publisher %@doi 10.1007/s11192-013-1030-8 %2 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2013/05.31.17.22.53
