Produção científica no âmbito do IFTO - Campus Palmas: identificando relações e interveniências

Abstract

The present study aimed to map the scientific production of the Federal Institute of Tocantins (IFTO) - Campus Palmas, comprising the bibliographic publications of its effective teachers from January 2020 to December 2022, with the aim of identifying patterns, characteristics and trends that help in understanding the academic profile and in formulating policies to encourage research. The research focused on scientific articles accepted for publication or published in scientific journals, book chapters, and books. The target population consisted of all professors with permanent employment at the Palmas Campus, totaling 233 professors. This is a descriptive research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, through documentary and bibliographic analysis. From the Lattes Platform and in conjunction with the Unified Public Administration System (SUAP), the profiles of 233 professors were extracted, from which specific data of those who published at least one bibliographic scientific work in the 2020-2022 triennium were analyzed. After verification, a total of 82 authors of bibliographic scientific production were reached. After this survey, characteristics common to all were observed, such as work regime, initial training, area of knowledge, current title and time at IFTO, which resulted in an approximate profile of the professor who publishes scientific bibliographical material. In the methodological path, the SUAP system was used to import scientific production from Lattes, from which a total of 304 articles, 136 book chapters and 45 books were counted. Regarding the works, the year of publication of the journal, the Qualis score and whether the publication was national, in Portuguese, or published in another language were analyzed. The collected data were analyzed, through which an approximate profile of the professor who publishes was reached, with the most recurrent characteristics being having a work regime with exclusive dedication, being a doctor, participating in projects or supervising scientific works. The data presented aim to support management in the most diverse decision-making and investment policies in IFTO research. With the data presented in this work, it is possible to know the existing characteristics related to the scientific production of the Palmas Campus and thus implement actions aimed at expanding scientific production.
