Abstract：
The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant changes in society\'s dynamics, particularly affecting the landscape of education. Research in several areas may have been affected during periods of social restrictions. This study analyzed the curricula of 558 researchers across 27 graduate programs in physical education in Brazil to investigate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on scientific publications. Researchers\' production from 2018 to 2022 underwent a comprehensive analysis, considering the total number of publications, Qualis rank, and journal impact factor. Data were analyzed using chi-squared and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Significance was set at 5%. Overall, the analyzed researchers published a total of 17,932 manuscripts from 2018 to 2022. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a decline of 16.4% in the number of articles published (p = 0.001). This decline was similar between men and women (p = 0.603) and was associated with a worsening in Qualis rank (p = 0.001). The number of studies published in journals with impact factors was also affected (p = 0.001). The findings suggest a potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the scientific production of Brazilian researchers in the field of physical education. Funding agencies should consider the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic before evaluating researchers and programs.
摘要：
COVID-19大流行引起了社会动态的重大变化，尤其影响教育的景观。在社会限制期间，几个领域的研究可能受到影响。这项研究分析了巴西27个体育教育研究生课程的558名研究人员的课程，以调查COVID-19大流行对科学出版物的潜在影响。研究人员对2018年至2022年的生产进行了全面分析，考虑到出版物的总数，Qualis排名，和期刊影响因子。使用卡方检验和Kruskal-Wallis检验分析数据。显著性设定为5%。总的来说,从2018年到2022年，分析的研究人员共发表了17,932份手稿。在COVID-19大流行期间，发表的文章数量下降了16.4%(p=0.001).这种下降在男性和女性之间是相似的（p=0.603），并且与Qualis等级的恶化有关（p=0.001）。在具有影响因素的期刊上发表的研究数量也受到影响（p=0.001）。研究结果表明，COVID-19大流行对巴西体育领域研究人员的科学生产具有潜在影响。在评估研究人员和项目之前，资助机构应考虑与COVID-19大流行相关的挑战。
