Randomized trial evaluates the effect of indexing on article submissions, highlighting increased contributions from Brazil and abroad.

This research aims to assess how SciELO and MEDLINE indexing influence article submissions to Jornal de Pediatria.
Analyzed total article submission data over four stages: pre-website, website, SciELO, and MEDLINE.
Compared foreign submissions and acceptance rates during each stage.
Conducted statistical analysis to identify trends and significance of submission rates.
Submissions increased significantly from 184 in stage I to 482 in stage IV (p = 0.009).
Stage III saw a substantial increase in submissions compared to previous stages (p < 0.001).
The number of foreign submissions rose dramatically to 17 in stage IV compared to earlier stages (p < 0.001).
