Analysis of the Topics of Research of Brazilian Researchers Acting in the Areas of Engineering

The production and publication of scientific works
have increased significantly in the last years, being the Internet
the main factor of access and diffusion of these. In view of this,
researchers from several areas of knowledge have carried out several
studies on scientific production data in order to analyze phenomena
and trends about science. The understanding of how research has
evolved can, for example, serve as a basis for building scientific
policies for further advances in science and stimulating research
groups to become more productive. In this context, the objective
of this work is to analyze the main research topics investigated
along the trajectory of the Brazilian science of researchers working
in the areas of engineering, in order to map scientific knowledge
and identify topics in highlights. To this end, studies are carried
out on the frequency and relationship of the keywords of the set of
scientific articles registered in the existing curricula in the Lattes
Platform of each one of the selected researchers, counting with the
aid of bibliometric analysis features.
