ABSTRACT:       Articles with 100 citations or more in the scientific
literature and with at least one author with Brazilian affiliation, were 
identified in the Thomson-ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) Web of 
Science bibliometric database, covering a 10-year period, from 1994 to 
2003; 248 (0.23%) out of a total of 109,916 articles with Brazilian 
affiliation were identified. This study was primarily carried out to 
identify thematic nuclei of excellence in research that had major impact in 
the international literature (Meneghini and Packer 2006). The regional and 
institutional affiliation distributions of these articles follow 
approximately that of the total of Brazilian articles in the ISI database. 
However, some significant deviations are observed derived from the 
outstanding performance of a few groups responsible for the publication of 
the HC-ISI (Highly cited ISI) papers. The international collaboration and 
the network organization of work played a fundamental role in these 
results. It is evident that the role played by organizations in research 
networks as well as the international collaborations exerted strong 
influence, in the impact of these articles, although with distinct 
amplitude in the different fields.
