“…There are still relatively few studies that assessed the whole country academic social networks composed of researchers who work in different knowledge areas. Some of them (Melo, 2011;Digiampietri et al, 2014;Mena-Chalco, 2013;Mena-Chalco et al, 2014;Tuesta et al, 2015;Lima et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2017;Dias and Moita, 2018;Damaceno et al, 2019) use the information registered in the Lattes Platform. Tuesta et al (2015) examine the advisor and advisee relationship for the researchers who are involved in the area of Exact and Earth Sciences in Brazil and its eight subareas.…”

The study of national academic characteristics is an imperative task for the understanding of national scientific production and the creation of effective science policy. Using a dataset of more than 3.2 million Brazilian curricula, we explore the academic community of PhDs working in Brazil in order to identify characteristics of the whole national network and in the knowledge area level. We used metrics from social network analysis and text mining techniques, as well as the patterns of collaboration between areas and the regional distribution of PhDs. The results show different general characteristics of the PhDs working in each Brazilian state and knowledge area, according to the social and economic characteristics of each of the five Brazilian regions. Different interaction profiles were described, like a less connected network in Linguistics, Letter, and Arts, in which each researcher is related, on average, to less than three other PhDs; on the opposite side, Agricultural Sciences each researcher is related, on average, to more than nine other PhDs of the network. It is clear that besides the capital and one or other major city, the Northeast Region is devoid of PhDs, a situation that is particularly problematic for the most destitute region of Brazil.

“…Additionally, they analyzed the gradual decrease in intellectual dependence between the advisor and the advisee. Damaceno et al (2019) addresses in the city, etc.). When viewing the data by reference to the municipalities, they can be presented in maps without overlapping, which does not happen when the institutions are referenced.…”

“…An inherent difficulty in carrying out analyses regarding a country's scientific production is generally associated with the collection of data, which are normally present in different types of repositories, making it difficult to retrieve and analyze them. However, this process can be facilitated using the Lattes Platform curriculum data repository, used in several studies to analyze scientific production (Santos;Oliveira, 2017;Gomes, 2018;Damaceno et al, 2019). The Lattes Platform is considered an important set of Brazilian scientific data that provides high-quality information and allows searching for data in connection with the individuals who are registered there, such as their academic education and scientific production, among others (Lane, 2010).…”

Researchers concentrate their efforts to understand the different female relations with science, using approaches that review their scientific and technological participation, as well as, seeking to understand their academic trajectory and performance. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the participation of women using as database the set of PhD graduates who have their curricula entered in the Lattes Platform. The data were collected and selected obtaining a set of 125,515 curricula of women who had completed their PhD. The PhD data were grouped according to the large areas of expertise (fields of science) and academic training, in which it was possible to analyze the academic evolution and the scientific and technological production of the group in a temporal manner. The different types of studies that help to understand the general aspect of women active mainly in science, besides being relevant, exhibit the characteristics of their research. This may be useful for the generation of national scientific indicators, for the management of information in the scientific area and for technological development. It is also useful to encourage and valuate participation of women in science.

“…No Brasil, os estudos bibliométricos contaram com fontes de informação diversas, como (sem a pretensão de ser exaustivo) PubMed e Lilacs, no caso de áreas da saúde (Packer;Tardelli;Castro, 2007); Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), para a América Latina (Mugnaini;Digiampetri;Mena-Chalco, 2014); Plataforma Lattes, cujas informações curriculares abarcam a trajetória acadêmica no Brasil de forma mais completa (Damaceno et al, 2019); bancos de teses e dissertações diversos (Araújo;Alvarenga, 2011); e o próprio Google Acadêmico, que oferece uma variedade de tipos de documentos de todo o mundo em múltiplas áreas e idiomas (Caregnato, 2011). Sem discorrer sobre a dificuldade para descarga e/ou tratamento dos dados, essas fontes têm sido utilizadas em estudos publicados tanto em teses e dissertações como em eventos e periódicos.…”

Panorama da produção científi ca do Brasil além da indexação: uma análise exploratória da comunicação em periódicos

Resumo Indicadores de produção científica são usualmente utilizados para a avaliação da comunidade acadêmica. Como parâmetro de qualidade, as bases de dados bibliográficas são empregadas para a seleção dos periódicos mais importantes, o que as confere um papel significativo no processo avaliativo. Por outro lado, ao se restringir as análises à produção indexada, abre-se mão do todo, correndo-se o risco de desqualificar a produção em periódicos não indexados. O Qualis busca contornar esse problema, ao possibilitar que as áreas valorizem os periódicos não indexados, mas nem sempre consideram o volume de artigos publicados neles. Este trabalho apresenta uma análise exploratória da dispersão da produção científica dos 260.663 pesquisadores, no nível de doutorado, registrados na Plataforma Lattes. Para a determinação do panorama nacional, foram considerados todos os artigos completos publicados em periódicos por esses pesquisadores entre os anos de 1998 e 2016. Esse panorama contempla análises discriminadas por grande área de atuação dos pesquisadores, o país de publicação e a indexação das publicações nos diferentes periódicos. Observaram-se tendências de internacionalização, assim como a importância de periódicos nacionais como veículos de publicação de parte significativa da produção científica de algumas áreas. Finalmente, ficou evidenciada a potencial limitação de estudos que não considerem a produção científica em periódicos não indexados, ou estudos restritos às bases Scopus e/ou Web of Science, ignorando a Scientific Electronic Library Online.
