“…The National Archive and the Association of Brazilian Archivists had contributed remarkably in developing archival sciences as a subject in Brazil. Rodrigues and da Cunha Marques (2008) reported how archival science has evolved and emerged as an essential discipline. The universities in Brazil are offering research and training programmes in archival science at undergraduate and graduate levels.…”

Purpose This paper aims to highlight the research output of library and information science of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations during the ten year period, i.e. 2005-2014, as reflected through the Web of Science database. Design/methodology/approach This study used Social Science Index (SSCI) of Web of Science (WoS) citation database to collect data for the ten year period. All records indexed in SSCI were refined by subject area of “Information Science and Library Science” and selected countries. The downloaded results were analyzed by using specific parameters. Findings WoS indexes different kinds of documents, such as articles, conference proceedings, biographical items, book reviews, corrections, editorial material, letters, reprints and reviews. Out of the BRICS output, almost 90 per cent of papers were articles. Other types of documents included conference papers, review papers and book reviews. China contributed nearly half of the documents followed by Brazil, South Africa, India and Russia. On an average, a document had cited 34 references. More than one-third of records did not receive any citations. It has been observed that the titles that had 11-16 words attracted the most number of citations. The top ten publishers in whose journals the researchers published included Emerald, Elsevier and Springer. The primary subject areas were information science and library science, information systems, interdisciplinary applications and management. About 85 per cent of the documents were published in English. Around 93 per cent of the non-English research publications were in Portuguese, the official language of Brazil. Originality/value There are not many studies on BRICS countries and that too about Library and Information Science (LIS) research output. This study may reveal insights into how LIS researchers interact with local and global issues in a specific spectrum of the world community.

“…As for Factor 3, Market, social and decision, includes ideas of the archivist as a constructor of information directed to the market and this professional is considered an intrapreneur. In this connection, we arrive at the conclusion that the archivist is not merely someone who stores documents, but an information professional seen increasingly as a constructor of information that can and should be directed to the market (Rodrigues and Marques, 2008). Indeed, as information represents transactionable goods, embodying power and decision, the archivist can develop new supplies of services and products for the market, with the raw material s/he has available, to make institutional or business options more efficient and effective.…”

“…Pro-activeness in favour of development and dissemination of archive documents is imperative in an increasingly demanding information society with less time to waste. Indeed, according to Rodrigues and Marques (2008) and Fernandes (2012), archive services have a mission to promote the organization, access to and spread of information.…”

“…Cultural inheritance, expressed in the person or entity as the producer of Information, has in archive services 'the organization, access and spread of the information they hold' (Fernandes, 2012: 191). Increasingly, access to information, whether institutional, historical, business, entertainment, informative, political, technical, technological or family, is an individual and collective imperative to be safeguarded, for whoever intends to follow up a project and/or obtain classified information in its strictest Intrapreneurship practices in municipal archives: A practice-oriented study sense, and this lies in the hands of the archivist (Fernandes, 2012;Rodrigues and Marques, 2008). At this new informational dawn, the historical-technical paradigm has given way to the scientific-informational one (Freitas, 2012: 13-17).…”

“…Debates about the current role of the archivist are becoming more and more frequent in the literature (Rodrigues and Marques, 2008), but little research exists about the intrapreneurship phenomenon. Thus, the main aim of this study is to demonstrate how the archivist and all professionals dealing with the archive can be intrapreneurs inside their municipal archive, through their creativity, better services, using their involvement to create products or new services.…”

The aim of this study is to demonstrate how the archivist and all the professionals dealing with the municipal archives can be intrapreneurs in the organization where they perform duties, through their creativity, better services, using their personal involvement and ingenuity in creating products or new services. The results obtained, based on a quantitative approach with the data-collecting instrument of a questionnaire sent to a sample of 311 Portuguese municipal archives, showed evidence of a gradual change in work mentality and in archive and archivists’ procedures, noting a certain awakening to the practice of intrapreneurship. In identifying the main practices stimulating intrapreneurship in the archives studied, it was possible to identify some explanatory dimensions (factors) of this phenomenon: (1) autonomy, pro-activeness, creation of products and climate, (2) orientation towards goals, competence and risk, (3) market, social and decision, (4) functionality and status, and (5) reward and competitiveness. This study is seen as being of the greatest importance, due to the information and knowledge society becoming increasingly important for the economy, especially following one of the most serious crises in Portugal’s history. It was therefore necessary to find out to what extent these information professionals are intrapreneurs within their archives, taking advantage of existing resources but also of their wisdom and competences in its service.
