Abstract
This work has the purpose of mapping the scientific production of researchers recipient of CNPq productivity grants in research (PQ) and productivity grants in technological development and innovative extension (DT), in the Production Engineering field, in the four-year period from 2013 to 2016. The information was extracted from the Lattes Platform, on which we obtained quantitative data about the individual scientific production of 190 researchers, through the software scripLattes v8.10. The data analysis was conducted through descriptive statistics, the Kolgomorov-Smirnov data normality test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Mann-Whitney test. The results show that 76% of the researchers compose the PQ grant category. Within the four-year period, among PQ researchers, 1B and 1A researchers had the best average of total published articles, with 19.42 and 15.75 articles per researcher, respectively. Among DT researchers, 1D and level 2 researchers had, in average, 21.5 and 12.57 published articles, respectively. PQ researchers maintain their production of scientific articles homogeneous at all Qualis levels. On the other hand, DT researchers present greater heterogeneity in their publications. It is possible to conclude that level 1 researchers do not focus on journals that present low Qualis ratings for the publication of their research. In contrast, level 2 researchers are less experienced and expect to publish in higher-level journals, but when their works are rejected, they start “betting” on journals of lesser quality.
Highlights
Brazil is a developing country that has been performing well in several knowledge areas, including in scientific production, especially in comparison with European countries and the United States (Coutinho et al, 2012). This advance is related to the increase in academic degrees, students, graduates and institutions recognized by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes1) of the Department of Education (MEC2), through postgraduate programs (Capes, 2006) that deliver the greatest portion of the Brazilian scientific production (Leta et al, 2006), approximately 85% of the national total
According to CNPq (2017c), there was a total of 2,859 researchers in the field of Production Engineering, corresponding to 1.2% of the total of researchers in Brazil
There has been a notable increase of researchers in the development and innovative extension (DT) grant, given that Picinin et al (2013) measured that only 8.91% of the researchers in the 2007-2009 period were DT grant researchers, with the remaining belonging to the PQ grant
Summary
Brazil is a developing country that has been performing well in several knowledge areas, including in scientific production, especially in comparison with European countries and the United States (Coutinho et al, 2012) This advance is related to the increase in academic degrees, students, graduates and institutions recognized by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes1) of the Department of Education (MEC2), through postgraduate programs (Capes, 2006) that deliver the greatest portion of the Brazilian scientific production (Leta et al, 2006), approximately 85% of the national total. Scientific production is directly linked to postgraduate and Stricto Sensu programs (Capes, 2006; Coutinho et al, 2012), whose principal research centers are public institutions (Gomes, 2007; Brito Cruz, 2010; Coutinho et al, 2012), which deliver around 90% of the Brazilian scientific production (Capes, 2006; De Meis et al, 2007; Coutinho et al., 2012), with eight national universities centralizing approximately two-thirds of Brazilian scientific articles published in international journals (Brito Cruz, 2010)
