Panorama das produções científicas nacionais sobre indexação: tendências e enfoques nos últimos anos

Abstract

Studies aspects related to indexing in Brazilian scientific production. The objective is to understand how indexing has been discussed in national scientific production over the past five years, analyzing the main trends and thematic approaches identified in the research. The methodology used is bibliographic, exploratory, descriptive, with a qualitative approach, based on a search conducted in three sources: the Brazilian Database of Journal Articles in Information Science (BRAPCI), the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciElo), and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), with a temporal cut-off from 2020 to 2024. The research retrieved 244 (two hundred and forty-four) results, of which 107 (one hundred and seven) were discarded for not fitting the scope of the research, resulting in a final selection of 137 (one hundred and thirty-seven) works. The analysis of the obtained results shows that the topic is still discussed in different contexts and from various perspectives, encompassing the interdisciplinary aspect of Information Science, and, most importantly, highlighting the importance of indexing in the processes of organization, representation, and findability of information in the face of sociocultural, technological, and informational demands
