“…More than a contradiction, this is a paradox and a challenge for the field of IS in Brazil and eGov in particular, as there is no tradition in the country for grounding the research works on theory. According to Pozzebon et al (2011), the lack of a conceptual domain is an obstacle to strengthening research, but due to the characteristics of the field, it is not an obstacle that stands in the way of including Brazil in international eGov. As eGov research has now been ongoing for over 20 years, we suggest that Brazilian research could go beyond describing phenomena and begin to make a more solid contribution to the field.…”

“…The appropriation of theories "developed in the West" is not exempt from criticism and has always led to debates in the field of management in Brazil (Bertero et al, 2005;Bertero et al, 2012) and, more recently, in the field of IS (Pozzebon et al, 2011;Cunha and Diniz, 2013). Brazilian researchers have systematically used theories that originated outside the country, especially those produced in Anglo-Saxon countries, and applied them to the local context.…”

“…The country suffers from social inequality, with different levels of access to healthcare, income and education, and the provision of public services, as shown by government statistics (Ibge, 2010). Brazil has a series of characteristics such as its diversified economy, complexity of organizations and multifaceted culture which make the country especially attractive to researchers (Bertero et al, 2012;Pozzebon et al, 2011). Brazil has particularly made innovative use of ICT in fields such as government and public administration, digital inclusion, use of mobile technology and e-democracy (Picazo-Vela et al, 2012).…”

“…1). Furthermore, in Brazilian production, the theoretical grounding of works in administration is a challenge in general (Bertero et al, 2012), particularly in works on IS (Pozzebon et al, 2011;Luciano and Macadar, 2014), and works in the subdomain of eGov (Przeybilovicz et al, 2014;Luciano et al, 2015).…”

The aim of this paper is to suggest alternatives for positioning a developing country in the international eGov research. We conducted a literature review, examining both Brazilian and international publications. We analyzed the domain of collaboration in the field through a social network analysis of authors, institutions and countries. Our study identified that the discussions concerning eGov are predominant; there is more intense collaboration in the network of institutions than of authors; the co-authorship network reflects the existence of a select number of central authors and, not surprisingly, the study of eGov is centralized in the USA and UK. This study complements previous studies and provides further understanding on how authors, institutions and countries cooperate. The findings of the study are not limited to Brazil, other countries that have barriers to internalization of research can benefit from the data.

“…Apesar do benefício da internacionalização e da participação de pesquisadores de outras partes do mundo no mainstream do campo de estudos de SI, não se pode correr o risco de deixar perder ou de não se aproveitar as referências locais ou tradições do país de origem Pozzebon, Diniz, & Reinhard, 2011 Para além das universidades mencionadas, majoritariamente localizadas nos EUA, Mumford (2006) apresenta o histórico de um conjunto de princípios humanísticos que contribuíram significativamente para o desenvolvimento do campo de SI, ampliando a disseminação de métodos e abordagens interpretativistas. A autora revela, em seu artigo, como essa nova visão de pesquisa foi sendo abordada inicialmente por pesquisadores atuantes em escolas localizadas na Noruega, Suécia e Dinamarca, para gradativamente ser adotada em outros países da Europa e nos EUA, e de lá para os outros continentes.…”

Resumo Este artigo revela o perfil de internacionalização dos pesquisadores brasileiros no campo de Administração de Sistemas de Informação (ADI) com base em análise de três dimensões: Formação, Disseminação de pesquisa e Colaboração em redes internacionais. Baseado na coleta de dados provenientes da Plataforma Lattes, Google Scholar e dos websites das instituições de ensino, referente a um total de 554 pesquisadores com doutorado completo, um grupo de 50 pesquisadores brasileiros neste campo foi identificado com algum grau de inserção internacional. Este estudo revela que os pesquisadores mais internacionalizados do campo são majoritariamente provenientes de instituições das regiões Sudeste (66%) e do Sul (28%) do País. Apenas uma parcela (16%) desses pesquisadores realizou doutorado no exterior, embora outros tenham tido experiências internacionais por intermédio de pós-doutorado (38%), cursos de extensão (45%) ou bolsa sanduíche (18%). A Disseminação internacional dos trabalhos deste grupo de pesquisadores cresceu 65% no período entre 2010 e 2015, com publicação em periódicos e participação em congressos internacionais. A rede de Colaboração internacional deste grupo de pesquisadores também foi identificada na pesquisa.

Health Information Systems and Democracy: Contributions from the Brazilian Sanitary Movement

Within the context of studies on Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D), earlier research has sought to understand how Health Information Systems (HIS) can achieve success in developing countries. In Brazil, in addition to these studies, research under the guise of Information and Information Technology in Health (IITH), developed within the context of the Brazilian Sanitary Movement, has also investigated how HIS can contribute to the development of health practices. IITH research seeks to understand how Health Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can enable the development of a democratic arena to improve health practices management in Brazil. This paper reviews the IITH literature in order to link its proposals with studies of HIS developed within the ICT4D realm. Thus, it was perceived that both theoretical approaches can be compared under six dimensions of analysis, namely: a) the need for a political approach to HIS analysis; b) the importance of integration standards for health information; c) the quest for research methods based on practical research; d) the need for a holistic approach to understand HIS implementation and use; e) the importance of local context settings; and f) the influence of technical artifacts on HIS. For each dimension, IITH and ICT4D contributions are compared and it is noted how similar they are in reality, as well as how they can learn and benefit from each other.
