Abstract

A visualization of Brazilian scientific production in journals of Information Science included in Web of Science is provided. It involves 58 journals and shows the contrast with Qualis/CAPES list. Articles on Information Science and Library Science with at least one Brazilian author, from 1994 to 2013, were searched. The results show that these international journals are relevant for brazilian researchers, and the most productive authors. The scientific production network concentrates only 13 titles in Qualis/Capes Area list. From the most cited 20 journals, 15 are not part of this list. As a conclusion, the Qualis Area list don´t encourage the Brazilian researchers to publish in the most of the best journals of the area in Web of Science.
