ABSTRACT Objective To characterize researchers in the Nutrition field awarded with Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico research productivity fellowships and evaluate their scientific production according to an analysis of curricula registered on the Lattes Platform. Methods The study is cross-sectional and descriptive in scope, and was developed from October 2014 to February 2015. The productivity fellowships/Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico researchers were identified from the Lattes Platform, and their curriculum lattes were downloaded for data collation. Information on the profiles of the researchers and the bibliometric data of productivity (published articles, articles and citations registered on ISI/Web of Science and Scopus databases, impact of the publications, and academic advising) were collected. Results Eighty researchers were identified and evaluated. A total of 67.5% were female and 53.5% were classified as category 2. Approximately two-thirds (65.0%) were located in Southeastern Brazil. The sum of articles published by the researchers from the beginning of their career until the end of the study came to 7,358 (median=84 per researcher, interquartile range=53–285). Of these publications, 45.0% were indexed in the Web of Science and 62.0% in Scopus. Of the journals where the articles were published, 70.0% had an impact factor. Conclusion Most publications were performed in journals with an impact factor, indicating the influence of Brazilian nutrition studies on society and their potential for guiding public policies on nutrition and health.

This research questions the possibilities offered by citation studies, in interlocution with the bases of genealogical-intellectual theory, that allow to perceive affiliations and contrapositions of scientific thinking, identifying the main groups, schools of thought and their relational unfolding throughout the generations in the information science, particularly in the scientific production of the stock exchange researchers of the National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). Part of Lloyd's (1995, 18) argument that the validity of a scientific study lies in the search for articulation of empirical research with a theoretical and methodological framework that favors the understanding of the scientific object. It aims to understand the dynamics of the most evident relations between the scientific production of the set of 23 researchers of levels 1 and Senior, of the CNPq area of CI, with scholarships in force between the years 2008 and 2017, and the theoretical ascendant referents that guide this production. To achieve this purpose, it identifies and analyzes the theoretical references of this universe, highlighting the evolution of these relations from a corpus consisting of 598 standardized articles from the period between 1972 and 2017, collected from the Brapci database. It maps the relationships between cited authors, citations and years of publication, using The Vantage Point® software. It emphasizes the constellations constituted by researchers like Guimarães and Fujita; Kobashi, Lara and Tálamo; Barreto and González de Gomez; Amaral and Robredo. It points out, the genealogical theoretical relations perceptible in: Farradane, Barreto and González de Gomez; Smit and Guimarães, among others. It distinguishes thematic approaches in groups that link authors with the same theoretical nuclei. Kobashi (PQ1) is the most present in the set of quotations of the pairs themselves, among which are also Mueller, Guimarães, Lara and Barreto, who are referents for representatives of different institutions. Although the network seems egocentric, centered on PQ1 and Senior, its quoted outside the list of analyzed PQs intermediate relations, bringing evidence of common theoretical affiliation, such as: Bourdieu intermediating Marteleto and Bufrem, Meadows intermediating Bufrem and Mueller, Foskett intermediating Fujita and Guimarães, among others. It lists the quotations from the 1970s to the 2010 and points out that the authors with the longest stay in the period are not always the most cited. It indicates the presence of the referents in three decades: Robredo, present in the first three; Mueller, in the second, third and fourth decade; and Bourdieu and Barreto, who remain in the last three. Although it appears only in the last decade, Hjørland has expressive representativeness in the computation. In the last two decades, González de Gomez is the most cited among the authors, Kobashi, Lancaster, Guimarães, Lara, Cunha, Habermas, Saracevic and Tálamo are the set of referents, among which the highlighted in previous research (Bufrem, Silva & Sobral, 2017). Finally, it states that every descendant, albeit with an individual and original creative project, receives mediating influences from his ascendants, in the field in which he acts, influenced by the spirit of time and the consciousness of belonging to a consistent theoretical lineage.

The fellowship of research productivity (PQ) granted by the national council for scientific and technological development (CNPq), besides the financial support, renders a significant status among Brazilian researchers of all areas of knowledge. Consequently, both the profile and the criteria for holding a PQ fellowship become of interest to the entire Brazilian scientific community. In this paper, we model the decision criteria as a weighted sum of the scientific production and the supervisory experience of an applicant for PQ fellowship. The scientific production is measured as the number of publications grouped according to  the QUALIS system provided by the Brazilian federal agency for the improvement of higher education (CAPES). The Lattes curricula of the successful applicants for the PQ fellowship in the field of mathematics and statistics, along with the curricula of many non-PQ fellows of similar institutions, were used to estimate the criteria adopted in the last call for PQ <br />fellowship in category 2. By allowing a certain tolerance, the model reproduced the decision criteria within acceptable bounds using the previous and the current QUALIS systems over a database composed of 234 curricula. As a consequence, the model may help to decide whether a researcher applicant is worthy to receive a PQ fellowship. Furthermore, it confirmed the recognized value of publications in journals with an elevated rank in the QUALIS system.

Abstract: Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe the profile and scientific production of research fellows of the Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) in the neuroscience area. Methods: We created a database containing 542 researchers who were CNPq fellows in Medicine, of which 94 (17.34%) worked mainly in the neuroscience area. Results: The researchers were distributed in eight Brazilian States: São Paulo (n=49; 52.12%), Rio Grande do Sul (n=22; 23.40%), Rio de Janeiro (n=9; 9.57%), Minas Gerais (n=5; 5.31%), Ceará (n=4; 4.25%), Santa Catarina (n=3; 3.19%), Espirito Santo (n=1; 1.06) and Paraná (n=1, 1.06%). Although the neuroscience researchers were from more than 20 institutions, 58.5% worked in only 3 of those, namely USP (n=30), UFRGS (n=15) and UNIFESP (n=10). The median time since obtaining the PhD degree was 18.27 years (range, 5-39). Throughout their academic careers, 94 researchers published 16,488 papers in scientific journals, with an average of 175.40 articles per researcher (ranging from 43 to 715 articles). Of the 16,488 articles,12,801 or 77.63% were indexed at Web of Science (mean of 136.18 articles/researcher), while 10,166 or 61.65% were indexed at Scopus database (mean of 108.14 articles/researcher). Overall, those researchers advised 1,279 undergraduate students (median of 13.60; range: 0-68), of which 1,329 were master’s degree students (median of 14.13; range: 1-49) and 970 PhD students (median of 10.54; range: 0-42). The fellows’ median H-index at ISI was 23.75. Conclusion: It is observed that the neuroscience fellows constitute a group with significant scientific production (the fellows’ median H-index at ISI was 23.75). Most of these scientific publications were indexed at the Web of Science (77.63%) and Scopus (61.65%) databases. Human resources training are also highlighted, including undergraduate students, master’s degree students and PhD students. Comparative studies with researchers from other countries, in similar areas of knowledge, are necessary to better understand the present results.
