Analyzing correlations between research groups has been increasingly appealing in recent years. The identification of proximity between different research projects can not only contribute to triggering new partnerships, but also optimize resources and share results. In Brazil, the Lattes Curriculum System of the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development is a rich source of information about the academic and professional life of professors, researchers, and students. Lattes curricula present information, much of it up-to-date, in a semi-structured text format. This paper intends to identify correlations between Brazilian research groups in Information Science through the analysis of keywords contained in the informative summaries and in the descriptions of the research projects found in the Lattes curricula of the participants of these groups. The analysis presented below was made with the application of text mining techniques to the Lattes curricula of researchers linked to 27 graduate programs in Information Science from 24 Brazilian institutions of higher education, totaling 399 curricula analyzed. Among the results obtained, it was possible to identify some existing research trends between the groups and link them to the areas of Information Science, Archivology, Library Science, and Museology. It was also possible to identify the most used research terms at the moment. In addition, the analysis of the occurrence of the terms allowed to identify the areas that concentrate most of the research in Information Science in Brazil, as well as to realize that there is a propensity of researchers to use certain terms to describe their research and their informative summaries.

<p>Authors analysed the characteristics of articles published by the Indian based authors in the ‘Information Science &amp; Library Science’ subject category of Web of Science during 1991-2015. In this study, total 708 articles derived from the Web of Science database were analysed. The Indian contributions to the Information Science and Library Science quite meager in compare to world’s contribution. However, the Indian based articles were kept rising from 1991 to 2015. The articles published from1996 to 2005 have greater impact and the trend is towards multiple authors. The Scientometrics was the most productive journal; almost 25 per cent of the Indian articles were published during the period. Gupta, BM was the most productive author and articles published by the Bhattacharya, S, Nagpaul, PS and Rao, IKR had greater impact on the subject as well as fellow researches in the subject category of IS &amp; LS. </p>

OBJECTIVE: Determine the profile of research groups and publications with food and nutrition-related actions promoted by the Family Health Strategy in Brazil since 1994. METHODS: Two procedures were used: structured review and research group search. The former searched the databases Web of Science, Medline, Lilacs, SciELO and Embase, and followed the principles that guide systematic reviews in the Cochrane Collaboration. The references of the selected articles were also consulted. The research groups were searched in the Research Group Directory of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development. RESULTS: A total of 54 articles published between 2002 and 2012 in 20 different journals were identified. Ten of these were retrieved from the references section of other articles. Focusing mostly on children from the Southeast region, these studies were coordinated by dieticians, nurses, and physicians. Diabetes Mellitus, high blood pressure, and breastfeeding were the most common topics (n=23). The quantitative methodology was employed by 42 articles, most about diagnoses. Only five research groups studied the Family Health Strategy, despite the growing number of studies in the area over the years. CONCLUSION: Despite the growing scientific production, the findings of this structured review indicate that few studies focused on food and nutrition in the Family Health Strategy, probably because of the existence of few research groups in the country. More comprehensive and consistent studies on the topic are needed.

Previous studies have presented a radical change in library and information science research topics in North America. This article investigates library and information science doctoral dissertations in China in terms of their topics and interdisciplinarity in the past 20 years. The results do not find a significant change in library and information science dissertation topics in China but reveal that the increase of library and information science doctoral research in the area of information science is attributed to an increase in admissions to Information Science majors compared to other majors (Library Science and Archive Studies). This study also shows that the academic background of library and information science doctoral advisors does not affect the interdisciplinarity of their students’ doctoral dissertations in China.

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 &amp; 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.

. This research has as scope the verification of which are the main groups, lines of research and regions that worked with Didactics of the Sciences in Brazil between 2003-2012. For that, a study with qualitative approach, exploratory purposes, case study method and documentary collection was carried out. The data were collected on the website of the Directory of Research Groups in Brazil of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), using the keyword "didactics of science". It was verified that only two research groups dedicate themselves specifically to Science Didactics studies and that the two are in the Northeast Region. In addition, we identified seven lines of research focused on the production of knowledge about Science Didactics. It was concluded that this subarea of Education in Sciences has a great potential of growth in the country, since the dedication to the epistemological studies on the teaching phenomena still has to be consolidated in Brazil.
