Sistemas de organização do conhecimento: uma análise da produção científica na International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO – Brasil)
Abstract
The Knowledge Organization seeks to provide a conceptual framework for the most varied practices and social activities from the construction of information representation instruments that favor access to knowledge registered and made available in different types of informational resources. The chapters and events promoted by the International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO) are important vehicles of scientific communication. In this perspective, it was questioned how Knowledge Organization Systems are treated in the Brazilian chapter of ISKO. In this sense, this study aims to analyze the scientific production
on knowledge organization systems indexed in the Brazilian chapter of ISKO, consisting of 5 publications from 2011 to 2019, totaling a corpus of 24 articles. From a specific point of view, it seeks to know the most cited researchers, the most productive authors in this area, as well as their institutional affiliation. It is,
therefore, a study of a basic, descriptive, bibliographic and quantitative approach on the scientific production of the Brazilian chapter of ISKO-Brasil, based on the theme of knowledge organization systems. The results obtained reveal that the most prominent researchers in the area are: Marcos Luiz Cavalcanti de Miranda, Mario Barité, Daniel Martínez-Ávila, Hope A. Olson and Suellen Oliveira Milani. In
addition, a solid epistemic community was identified in the analyzed area, with researchers responsible for significant production on the topic, which influence other authors dedicated to the subject and are used as a source of research. From the results, it can be concluded that the theme is gaining more and more space on the agenda of discussions of national researchers, and it is timely to conduct research that seeks to draw a more complete picture of national actors who are dedicated to the subject.
