Abstract

This study aims at a co-authored analysis of professors from the Department of Information Science at the University of Rio Grande do Norte. The objective of this study is to analyze the co-authorship relationships existing in the productions of the permanent professors of the department and that are indexed in Brapci. And to achieve this objective, the following specific objectives were established: to identify the permanent faculty that integrates DECIN/UFRN in the year 2022; quantify the scientific articles indexed in Brapci, produced in the last 10 years, starting in 2012, adding the year 2022 by the permanent faculty active in 2022; define the number of existing co-authorships in scientific articles retrieved at Brapci produced by the permanent faculty; graphically represent the co-authorship relationships from the articles produced by the faculty; and classify the existing academic relationships in the productions co-authored by professors. Methodologically, this study presents bibliographical research, it also presents as a case study, regarding the approach and it is quantitative research, in addition to having exploratory and descriptive objectives and being considered research of an applied nature.
