Produção científica sobre catalogação uma análise na literatura indexada pela base de dados BRAPCI

Abstract

Scientific production is necessary and the most used channel for the communication of scientific research is the periodical. In this perspective, studying scientific production on cataloging promotes a better understanding of how the area has been developing. This work aimed to analyze the scientific production on cataloging in the last ten years, represented by the scientific articles indexed in BRAPCI. The methodological procedures were exploratory and descriptive, with a quantitative and qualitative approach using the bibliometric method. Data collection was carried out on January 17, 2020. The results indicate that the journal with the largest number of publications was Revista Brasileira de Biblioteconomia e Documentação with a total of 15 publications. 2017 was the year of greatest prominence, with 21% of works produced and the topics most covered in the research were Cataloging, Information Science and Library Science. 79% of the works were co-authored. The most prolific authors were Plácida Santos (28), Zaira Zafalon (13), Ana Maria Pereira (12) and Fabiano Castro (11). 83% of the authors are doctors and 80% act as teachers. The institution that contributed most on the topic was UNESP and UFSC. It is concluded that in the last ten years both the number of productions on cataloging and publications on the theme by doctors and professors in the area are significant.
