The proposal of this research is to analyze and attract public attention to the research front of the subject Metric Studies, in the Information Science area. Citations and co-citations were analyzed in articles of the periodicals published online by SciELO, namely: Ciência da Informação and Perspectiva em Ciência da Informação. It was estimated that the frequency of citations and co-citations shows the established relations between the researchers and the front of research in the subject, considering that the citations and co-citations show researches with subject similarities and ideas association or co-occurrence. It was used, initially, the universe of 388 articles; 53 (13.7%, including the two periodicals mentioned) of them are about the subject Metric Studies. The cited authors were examined; in a total of 1514 citations, 35 authors had been cited at least 6 times in a total of 318 citations. The co-citation matrix consisted of a symmetrical matrix, 18x18, with co-citations delineating a first research front. The pioneering authors in metric studies compose the core of this front.Downloads
