Authorship concentration indexes and other data for journals in the LILACS (Latin American and the Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences) bibliographic database, from 2015 to 2019 (FONTENELLE, 2022). These data are read and created by analytic code in Zenodo.

authorship_concentration_datadictionary.csv - data dictionary for the previous file. This file is actually CC0. CSV file encoded with ASCII.

journals.csv - dataset about the journals indexed in LILACS between 2015 and 2019. As a result of simply converting and filtering the original TITLE database, this is actually CC0 by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). CSV file encoded with UTF-8.
