Abstract: The adviser-advised relationship, in addition to the evident propagation of knowledge, can provide an increase in the scientific production of the advisors. Specifically, in post-graduate programs, in which the advised submit diverse papers in different means of publication, these end up boosting the production of their advisor, since in general the advisors appear as co-authors, responsible for instructing and assisting in the development of the work. Therefore, to visualize the orientation process and the scientific production resulting from this relation is another important way of analyzing the scientific collaboration in the different areas of knowledge. In this work, are used the data of orientations and postgraduate supervisions from the Lattes curricula, from the main advisors who work in the Engineering area, to obtain an overview of the process of orientation of this group, and even, to produce Academic genealogical trees, where it is possible to verify how knowledge has spread in the diverse areas of engineering.
Abstract: 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.
