The lack of indexing for the titles of scientific journals in the Social Sciences and Humanities in commercial databases makes it difficult to carry out an investigation on the impact of these journals. Open Access and tools as Google Scholar (GS) and software for data processing allow searches to be conducted through GS and the recovery of citations of articles, which can be regarded as an alternative to traditional databases on the impact of scientific production published in these areas. This study presents a pilot scheme to share citation data from Brazilian journals for further collaborative investigation by the Brazilian scientometrics community with the aim of encouraging greater use of GS for bibliometric purposes.
