Meneghini R, Packer AL, Nassi-Calò L (2008) Articles by Latin American Authors in Prestigious  Journals Have Fewer  Citations. PLoS ONE 3(11): e3804. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0003804

Abstract

The journal Impact factor (IF) is generally accepted to be a good measurement of the relevance/quality of articles that a journal publishes. In spite of an, apparently, homogenous peer-review process for a given journal, we hypothesize that the country affiliation of authors from developing Latin American (LA) countries affects the IF of a journal detrimentally.
