Abstract

Over the years, information and technologies have been more and more impact in the activities of scientific production. The objective of the present work is to analyze the evolution of the main themes that are discussed in the WG 8 of ANCIB from 2008 to 2015 and to trace research tendencies in this WG. The study emerged from the need to know how the research themes discussed in the WG 8 have evolved, from its creation to the present day. The adopted methodological procedures were characterized as an exploratory and descriptive study, with qualitative approach, which was constituted by means of a detailed survey in the annals of ENANCIB. From the developed analysis, they were verified, by means of the approached themes, tendencies in the research ambit of Information Science in the communications of ANCIB, precisely in the WG 8 of ENANCIB. Among the presentation techniques, they were adopted tag clouds in the visualization of results. The results indicate that during all the trajectory of the studied WG, there was production about the highlighted theme, indicating that it should remain active. Among the research themes, the category of Information Architecture was featured, once it has the biggest number of occurrences published in the WG 8 during the studied period. This way, it is understood that it is configures as a research tendency.
