Bibliometric analysis of the dissertations defended in the postgraduate program in sustainable development of the moist tropic (PPGDSTU) and the postgraduate program in natural resource management and local development in the Amazon (PPGEDAM) at the Federal University of Pará. It aims to identify the main research currents linked to the access of natural resources. The research is characterized as quantitative, descriptive and bibliometric, from the survey of the dissertations in the online portals of the programs (PPGDSTU and PPGEDAM), Institutional Repository of UFPA (Riufpa), and on the Curriculum Lattes Platform. The year of defense analysis, research themes and more productive researchers were selected, presenting the main research strands and offering a "state of the art" in the scientific production of PPGDSTU and PPGEDAM. It was used as research tools: a) The software VOSviewer to identify the main thematic trends of postgraduate programs analyzed; b) The Wordclouds.com software in order to elaborate clouds of keywords, aiming at mapping the most used terms and discussed in the analyzed dissertations, and c) The Software Gephi to view the scientific collaboration network between teachers and tasks of the programs. The first year of defense of each program was adopted until 2018. It was found that so PPGEDAM as PPGDSTU have 172 dissertations produced between 2009 to 2018 while PPGDSTU / NAEA has 254 dissertations between 1987 to 2018 and, as for teachers which more guided in the PPGDSTU, 39 guiders were counted, while in PPGEDAM, has 27. It is concluded that research carried out in these programs through the natural resources theme in the Amazon, have been contributing to a more sustainable and predatory planet of predatory actions. It is also suggested the stimulus of collaborative partnerships between programs, creating academic master's incentives at PPGEDAM and Professional Master in PPGDSTU, in which it will contribute to the increase in the productivity of the institution. It is also suggested the implementation of research fueling scholarships to improve the performance of the programs, thus avoiding the oscillation of scientific productivity.

A Análise de assunto no contexto museológico: aplicação do protocolo verbal individual nos museus da UFPA e MPEG
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-02-24) CARVALHO, Raul de Azevedo; REDIGOLO, Franciele Marques; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1678579864255236; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6277-2960
Discusses subject analysis as a way of representing the essence of a document, making it possible to recover it within a system, consisting of the first and most important stage of the Indexing process. However, there is a lack of methodologies in the literature in the field of Museology for the practice of subject analysis in the context of museums, an aspect that influences the adequate retrieval of information in these spaces. This problem drove this research, whose objective is to map how the processes of subject analysis occur in the cataloging of museological objects, aiming to improve the strategies of dissemination and retrieval of information in museums. As specific objectives it has: a) To carry out a theoretical study on the representation of information in museums; b) Conduct a theoretical study on subject analysis in indexing and verify the subsidies for indexing in museums; c) Identify whether the process of subject analysis in indexing occurs in the practice of cataloging museological objects, through the application of the Individual Verbal Protocol. To achieve these objectives, it employs an exploratory research with qualitative analysis of the data collected using the technique of Individual Verbal Protocol applied to nine professionals from two institutions that have great performance in the Amazon context, the Federal University of Pará and the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. . As a result, it was possible to identify that the museum professional is unaware of the subject analysis process, which leads to inconsistencies in the user's information retrieval. In this context, suggestions are made for a model of documentary reading to help professionals in the process of analyzing the subject in the museological context. It concludes that subject analysis, as the first step towards indexing, needs to be well designed through the elaboration of norms and guidelines that need to consider the information needs of the user community that use the museum institution.

Uma análise do discurso do grupo de trabalho representação e organização do conhecimento no âmbito dos Encontros Nacionais de Pesquisa e Pós-graduação em Ciência da Informação - ENANCIBs
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-05-31) COSTA, Marcos Oliveira da; BARROS, Thiago Henrique Bragato; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0339496971217162; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7439-5779
The Knowledge Organization (CO) has been present since the beginning of Information Science (CI), so works related to this area (CI) are considered important. The research aims to identify the discursive positions present in the studies elaborated within the scope of the National Meeting of Research in Information Science (ENANCIB), for this, it will use the theoretical contributions provided by the Discourse Analysis (AD), specifically the one of French origin, having Michel Pêcheux as its precursor, which together with Michel Foucault are the two main authors that will be used as a theoretical framework of AD in the research. Regarding the research questions, it was necessary to identify the paradigms that influence the work in IC within the scope of Enancib's Work Group 2 (GT2), so that there is more clarity in the studies developed within this line of research and also investigates how AD can contribute to the advancement of CI. This research is justified by the lack of studies focused on the theoretical-methodological area in IC. Thus, it aims to: identify the discursive and ideological aspects that permeate the scientific production of IC within the scope of ENANCIB, more specifically in the Knowledge Representation and Organization work group; analyze how investigations on OC and IO are currently taking place within the scope of the event; identify the main paradigms that influence research in this area; understand what and for whom the Knowledge and Information Organization serves within the scope of ENANCIB; to point out the differences and similarities present in the speeches elaborated in the area of OC and IO within the ENANCIB. The main methodological instrument will be the French-based AD, to carry out the research, the works published in ENANCIB in the years 2014 to 2019 were used.

Análise do tratamento da informação no Museu do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-28) REIS, Mateus da Silva; SANTOS JUNIOR, Roberto Lopes dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3355963647616547
Information Treatment investigates the support and subject dimensions that make up the document, seeking to formulate access points and representations that enable the relationship between user x information x document in different information units. In this sense, this research arises from the concern about the informational treatment of the Museum of the Historical and Geographic Institute of Pará (MIHGP), located in the downtown of Belém - PA, in which weaknesses in the processes of organization and representation of information have already been observed. This research seeks to analyze the Information Treatment of MIHGP, focusing on the catalog card, using, in an interdisciplinary way, conceptual and methodological elements of the Organization of Knowledge and Information. It is a descriptive and experimental research, using direct observation as a methodological strategy. The methodological procedures were configured as: the selection of bibliographies related to the Organization of Knowledge and Information and the Subject and Descriptive Treatment; construction of levels of informational treatment, in the descriptive and thematic dimensions, from the analysis of these bibliographies; the adequacy of the fields of the catalog to the established levels; observation of the levels reached by the research instrument, outlining strengths and weaknesses. It was noticed in the results that the informational treatment reached satisfactory levels in the descriptive sphere, by enabling essential functions of investigation of the support of the objects of the MIHGP. However, the research instrument did not reach acceptable levels of subject treatment, as it did not allow indexing terms related to the content of the document and the identification of the association between owners and the objects of the MIHGP. As a solution to these problems, we sought to reformulate this instrument using the Tainacan software, using new guidelines and processes present in the field of Archivology, Museology and Information Science. It was concluded that the proposed discussion comprises a series of debates that seek to minimize the problems surrounding the informational context of the presented museum institution. This investigation can complement the MIHGP's trajectory regarding the need to organize the information of its collections, and can be seen as one of the steps towards more effective norms and guidelines for the representation of information, such as, for example, an indexation policy.

The publication of Federal Law No. 12.527/2011 stipulated new ways of handling public information, establishing guidelines and procedures to be followed by public entities belonging to the Union, States, Federal District, and Municipalities, implementing active and passive transparency. The 2030 Agenda is a document composed by the United Nations (UN) that has 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to contribute to sustainable development globally. Among these, SDG 16 "Peace, Justice and Effective Institutions" aims to "promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels" (UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION, 2015, unpaginated). The goal 16. 6 "develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels" as well as 16.10 "ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements". Aforementioned goals present as a central theme "access to and transparency of information in the public sectors", linked to the regulation of access to information in the public sphere. Hence, this research designated the following as a general objective: to demonstrate if the channels of access to information of the federal universities of the state of Pará present the requirements provided by the Access to Information Act, contributing to the achievement of the goals in the 2030 Agenda, 16.6 and 16.10. To this end, specific objectives were stipulated: identify the instruments of access to information used in the federal universities of the state of Pará; evaluate the instruments of access to information within the Federal Universities of the State of Pará according to the guidelines and procedures of the LAI and the indicators of the goals 16.6 and 16.10 and present potentialities and weaknesses of the universities observed from the analysis of the results. The research embodies a qualitative and quantitative approach. We adopted exploratory and descriptive methodology. Data collection was carried out through an observation script filled out by the universities and the author. The results indicated that the universities were in an progressive process of implementation of LAI. These institutions are adapting their channels of access to information according to the guidelines and orientations of the Act. Regarding goals 16.6 and 16.10, the results revealed that all four universities contribute to the achievement of said goals by disseminating reports and having SIC, e-SIC, Ombudsman and e-OUV (Plataforma Fala.BR), to respond to requests for information, following the guidelines of the Act. As for the structural and content (information) standardization signaled, all four utilize a language of easy understanding (citizen). The study also presented the potentialities and weaknesses of the universities from the LAI perspective and for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda observed from the analysis of the results. It is concluded that the process of implementation of LAI and goals 16.6 and 16.10 in the federal universities of the state of Pará contributes to the democratization of information, from their communication channels, contributing to the improvement of public service delivery in the North Region.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-29) GARCIA, Valdenise César; REDIGOLO, Franciele Marques; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1678579864255236
Indexation is one of the activities carried out in libraries for the thematic organization of information. Through this activity, librarians extract subjects from documents to represent them thematically, in this way, the users have access to the desired document through the information retrieval. Considering that the indexation evaluation is essential to provide more quality to its process, and to allow an efficient retrieval of information for users, it is proposed to conduct the evaluation of the quality of the indexation made in the documents of the Biological, Human, and Engineering Sciences areas from UFPA libraries, in the completeness and specificity aspects, through the information retrieval in the online catalog by the recall and precision elements, from the users’ point of view. This research aimed at contributing with theoretical and practical subsidies for the area of Thematic Processing of Data, based on a research on the evaluation of the quality of indexation, through the elements of completeness and specificity for the information retrieval recall and accuracy. The specific objectives were: a) To reflect on the indexation issue: theoretical and conceptual aspects, purposes, stages, instruments, as well as the inherent factors of its policy and evaluation by the information retrieval; b) To obtain a relevant judgment and opinions on the documents retrieved in the search of a subject in the catalog of the library system of UFPA, through the application of interviews with users of three undergraduate courses, in Belém campus; c) To check the levels of completeness and specificity in the indexation from the recall rates and accuracy in the information retrieval, in order to evaluate the quality of the indexation carried out in a total of 2.584 documents. As a methodological procedure, it was applied a semi-structured interview with 55 users of the UFPA library system, who were undergraduate students from the Biology, Psychology and Civil Engineering courses, in Belém campus, representing respectively the Biological, Human Sciences and Engineering Sciences areas. For the data analysis the quality of the indexation, it was used the categories of completeness and specificity, referring to the indexing process, and of recall and precision, which are regarding the information retrieval by subject. The results showed that the indexation of the analyzed documents of the three courses was considered satisfactory, mainly in the Biology course, in which a higher quality of the indexation was verified, since relevant documents were recovered with few irrelevant ones. However, for a higher quality in the courses of Psychology and Civil Engineering, it is necessary to elaborate guidelines for the indexation and to fix them in an indexation policy. It is concluded that evaluating the indexation through the information retrieval, including the subjects that belong to the documentary cycle, it becomes essential when seeking improvements for the process, since they can improve the representation and information retrieval through their feedback, showing what is desired for each specific area of the documents treated, as well as allowing the adequacy of the indexing according to the context of each library.

Information about musealized collections can be viewed in the midst of a set of organized actions aimed at preserving and communicating material testimonies generated or collected by man. Documentation in museums is comprehensive, ranging from the acquisition of the object to conservation, exhibition and others. It is noticed that this information has the potential to produce new information, advising professionals in the planning and development of activities. Moreover, this information is a fundamental testimony to the history of these collections and guard institutions. Thus, the present work aims to propose a research instrument to the collection of the artist Carmen Sousa (1908-1950), safeguarded by the Museum of the Federal University of Pará (MUFPA). The collection consists of the artist's visual art (painting, sculpture and drawing) and communication (letters, diary, photographs, telegrams, newspaper clippings and others). Research tools are products derived from archival description and museum cataloging, aimed at users who access information in archives or museums in order to locate the documents and objects they wish to search. The methodology applied to the study seeks to associate the mechanisms of information retrieval from the comparative analysis of the description metadata of ISAD(G) standards, for archives, and the documentation of the CIDOC Guidelines, for museums, in order to identify the fields of information record similar data to document the collection. The product of the study points to the conformity of the representation of information for museum collections adapted to the Software Access to Memory (AtoM) in digital setting, in order to provide access to the collection, through the proposal of diffusion, preservation and communication of this cultural good of the museum to its users. The results indicate that the system allows the description of the collection in a single research instrument.

Open Science can be considered as a paradigm shift within the Open Access movement, containing in one of its pillars the open access to scientific research data in order to contribute and collaborate with the use, reuse and reproducibility of these data. Through sharing, research can be validated and bring more transparency to the studies developed. Among the issues debated about the sharing of research data is the authors' perception of this practice, which can both inhibit and influence it. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the perceptions and practices of permanent professors of graduate programs at the Institute of Technology (ITEC) and the Institute of Applied Social Sciences (ICSA) at UFPA regarding the sharing of research data. The methodology, of an exploratory nature, through the case study, composes the investigation regarding the sharing of research data, with the UFPA as the locus of the research, through a questionnaire and interview. The survey was conducted through 51 questionnaire respondents and 10 interview participants. The results showed that the professors have knowledge about research data sharing, but not in relation to the fundamentals of Open Science. Regarding data sharing practices, the research points to the occurrence informally, without the use of data management tools. The importance of this study at UFPA is highlighted, given the incipience on the theme and the need for guidelines and support at the institutional level, given the relevance of the theme in identifying and researching factors and characteristics that can increase the balance between the participants in the process and use of research data sharing.

Informational behavior studies are dedicated to identify information needs, the way of searching and the use of information by individuals from the point of view of information as a social construction, of the individual as a user and also a provider of information in the cognitive perspective. We sought to know the information behavior of the residents of Ophir Loyola Hospital through qualitative case study research, with the participation of 57 health professionals, medical and non medical residents, who answered an electronic questionnaire in order to know their information needs, search behavior and use of information in the hospital routine based on an integrative model validated in Information Science and adapted to the study. The results were treated by analyzing the categories and showed that the residents’ information needs refer to patient care. The main feelings that accompany them when they perceive the information need are: curiosity, anxiety and uncertainty. The search for information occurs at the moment when residents feel the need. Databases are the sources of information they seek most often and those that residents trust most. The use of information retrieved by residents is for the understanding of the clinical problem in different specialties. The integrative model used allowed the achievement of the proposed objectives and the elaboration of a diagram of the residents’ information behavior.

The Digital Repositories were created within the Information Age and open access for the scientific production context. They work as informational environments projected to store, maintain and spread data of digital origin or not. For diverse users, one of the attractive features in the use of digital environment, such as the repository, is that the information needed can be effectively found. For deaf people this is not different, considering that their needs when using the repository are often like those who hear. That way, this research intends to analyse the problem rising from the question: What is the perception of the deaf community of the Instituto Nacional de Educação de Surdos (INES – National Institute of Deaf Education) about the data findability in the Huet Digital Repository? Based within this horizon, this research main objective is to analyse the Huet Digital Repository data findability from the perspective of the INES deaf people community. Specifically, it intends to: a) link the concepts of Digital Repository, Data Findability and Deaf; b) identify the Huet Repository data findability characteristics from the Checklist use; c) describe the INES deaf community perception about the Huet Repository findability of digital objects for deaf people education. To fulfil such objectives the research is defined as descriptive, with a quali quantitative approach that uses an electronic questionnaire, there is also a semistructured interview as a tool for data collection. The sample to which the questionnaire was applied consists of 11 deaf and non deaf INES teachers. The semistructured interview was applied to five (5) deaf and non deaf INES students. Both tools were adapted from a checklist for the data findability features of informational environments. results show that not all the data findability features are present in the Huet Repository. Some of them have solvable problems. Besides that, the INES deaf community indicates important issues that are able to improve the digital environment analysed, that way breaking barriers to minorities digital inclusion, a linguistic minority in this case. This research does not reach a conclusion; however, it expects to stir up the discussion about findability, taking into consideration the opinions of the users, mainly the users that are part of minorities with diverse characteristics, which must be heard as well as the deaf ones.

This research investigates gender inequality in the access of women to Science and Technology (C&T) careers in higher education, at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), Brazil. As a referent to C&T, this case study used statistical data from STEM courses (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). These courses are administrated at UFPA within two institutes: the Institute of Exact and Natural Sciences (ICEN) and the Institute of Technology (ITEC). All data was analyzed in light of gender theoretical categories, to identify differences in terms of the approval rates in admission exams, enrolment of undergraduates in STEM courses, successful graduation, participation in post graduation courses (MA and PHD levels), and the configuration of the academic team of professors at post graduation courses. We reviewed nine years of data, between 2011 and 2019. The results show that few women pursue careers in STEM professions. Data showed that from a total of 11,066 students, only 30% were women. There was also a low concentration of women in the academic team at postgraduate level in both institutes: 68 women to 321 men. Female student representation is worst in computer related courses, varying from 11% to 15%. However, courses related to "feminine categories" like aesthetics, food preparation, well-being and health, i.e. Architecture and Urbanism, Food Engineering, and Sanitary and Environmental Engineering, were dominated by women. Survival of undergraduate students is better in women, but in absolute numbers, male graduates overwhelm feminine presence. The longitudinal analysis following the nine-year term of this study, shows that the number of vocations in regard to computer technology is dropping in general, the number of girls entering STEM at UFPA stays constant or declining, but the number of boys is increasing comparatively. Even those fields "dominated by girls today" will cease to have such status in the short term. We conclude that in STEM courses at the UFPA, male-domination is so strong that gender inequality will persist for long, even in the presence of drastic measures today. Gender equality at the UFPA is a complex strongly rooted problem; nevertheless, it needs to be addressed at UFPA as a long term academic and social challenge.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-28) BITTENCOURT, Nicolle Manuelle Bahia; REDIGOLO, Franciele Marques; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1678579864255236; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6277-2960; OLIVEIRA, Hamilton Vieira de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3172995771315859; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6439-0058
Elaborated and used by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN), the National Inventory of Cultural References (INRC) is a research methodology for the registration of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Brazil since 2000 and is based on the law of registration and recognition of this type of heritage: Decree-Law 3.551 / 2000. In 2004, Círio de Nazaré, held in Belém, capital of the State of Pará, officially since 1793 was the first to use this methodology for the category of the register book of Celebrations. This celebration involves not only the capital and its metropolitan region but expands to several other cities in the state and other regions of Brazil. Being held in honor of Our Lady of Nazareth, the Círio has strong popular participation, becoming one of the great symbols of manifestation coming from the people and their interaction with the sacred. This research aims to analyze the applicability of this methodology in Círio de Nazaré and the documentary basis of the process that results in the production of a representation of the identified Intangible Cultural Heritage, specifically the content of the documents referring to the spectacle Auto do Círio, performed by the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) since 1993 and its representation within the registry. Seeking to identify the flow of information and mediations that occur in the heritage and its social range of meanings and symbols, the study explores the social context of the term “Cultural Heritage”, its construction and its informational side in relation to the user.

It deals with Knowledge Management (KM) in University Libraries (BUs). The guiding question of this research was how to share tacit knowledge in the context of the Lourenço José Tavares Vieira da Silva library (BLJTVS) at the Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA). The general objective was to analyze KM in the context of the Library of UFRA campus Belém. The specific objectives were to build a theoretical and methodological framework about KM in BUs, make a comparative analysis between the libraries of UFSC, UFRGS and UFRA and propose ways to GC in the UFRA library. The methodology used was exploratory with the application of the instrument for the diagnosis of GC in BUs, proposed by Castro (2005), in the six sectors that make up the BLJTVS. The results showed that there is no formal KM policy. It was also found that the lack of a formalized KM policy is not only a problem present in the Brazilian scenario, but also in other nations, as was evident from the analysis of published studies on the subject. It is recommended for the creation and implementation of KM in the context of BLJTVS to use the framework GC@ BU proposed by De Bem (2015). To promote organizational learning, creation and knowledge sharing at BLJTVS, the following techniques can be applied: community of practice, dissemination of relevant practices and exit interviews. The tools can also be used: yellow pages, concept maps and groupware. It concludes that it is essential the formal establishment of a KM policy and the adoption of techniques, tools and a collaborative system in cyberspace, which contributes to the sharing of knowledge in the context of BLJTVS. At the end, it is recommended to carry out studies on GG in the BUs of the other Brazilian IFES, and the most appropriate groupware should also be analyzed to promote collaboration between the BUs in Brazil.

A indexação para a organização de acervos permanentes
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-02-25) BARBOSA, John Charlles Nogueira; REDIGOLO, Franciele Marques; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1678579864255236; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6277-2960
Permanent collections are spaces of memory, have a social function in the space they occupy, constituting an inexhaustible source for research, whether academic and scientific or not. The relevance of indexing with regard to the organization of permanent files is very important, as it is used with an action to describe, identify and retrieve a certain document, with the intention of achieving excellence in information retrieval. Many professionals organize archives according to empirical nonarchival criteria, creating a problem of inconsistency between custody and access to stored documents, precisely because the collections do not meet archival standards, premises and foundations. The objective of this research is to diagnose the indexing processes of permanent collections in five public agencies. Specifically, it is intended to: contextualize the specialized literature on the theoretical and methodological framework of the Knowledge Organization, in terms of: the archival representation, the rules for archival description and indexing in permanent collections and the analyze how the process of indexing permanent collections in public agencies occurs. The methodology consisted of a set of procedures, including research steps, questionnaire application, structured in the form of open, closed and multiple choice questions, sent by email to five professionals/archivists, whose subjects in this study are representatives of the archives of the Federal University of Pará; of the Public Archive of the State of Pará; of the Federal University of Minas Gerais; of the Federal University of Bahia and from the Federal University of Paraná. The results showed that the indexing procedures that are being used in the permanent archives of the researched institutions are characterized by the lack of predefined guidelines for indexing; absence of elaboration of a manual to index; little use of Software to index and the field to include terms; as they also use few crossreferences; indexing time is not evaluated; little use of catalogs and/or databases; the number of assigned terms is not measured; do not have a degree of specificity; uses little controlled language; professionals/archivists have no knowledge of indexing instruments and have little automatic help in the process of permanent collections. Those indications allow us to conclude that: The investigated public institutions do not adopt indexing procedures, as they are limited in this process, the most evident cause of which is the absence of a policy focused on that activity, which ultimately results in little use and lack knowledge of archival tools. It was also found that these same institutions use forms of information representation for their search and retrieval, having as methodologicaltheoretical parameter to assist the archivist two pertinent tools: (a) the fundamentals of Information Science, and (b) NOBRADE, based on the premises of international norms, to describe the documentals in the researched collections.

This research is a case study that aimed to analyze the insertion and visibility of scientific production at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) in mainstream science, as a contribution to understanding the mechanisms implicit in the generation and construction of knowledge in a peripheral region international and national scientific system. The research carried out a bibliometric and diachronic scientometric analysis to measure the insertion of UFPA's production in mainstream science, based on the bibliographic database Scopus, as a representative of international literature. The dominant communication vehicles and their impact indicators were identified; the languages of publication; the research areas most covered; citation rates by research area and scientific collaboration networks, at meso (institutional) and macro (national) levels. The period analyzed was the five-year period 2014–2018. A high degree of productivity was observed for researchers in the Biological Sciences, Exact and Natural Sciences and Health Sciences, who also had the highest rates of scientific impact. However, the Social and Human Sciences had the highest growth rates, which denotes the dynamics of insertion and evolution of UFPA in mainstream science, which is characterized by publication in international scientific journals, with emphasis on the American and English dissemination channels. The collaboration took place to a greater extent with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) located in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, which have the highest national productivity rates; and with central countries of the international scientific system, with emphasis also on the United States and the United Kingdom.

Studies Governmental Information Systems, considering that its growing use, in confluence with technologies, seeks to meet the current demands for transparency and efficiency of public services, and leads to discussions as to which technologies can be used for this purpose and how Library & Information Science (LIS) can contribute in this context. Thus, the research aims to explore the relationships between LIS and Data Science and their applications in Governmental Information Systems to enable the transformation of data into information, and as specific objectives: a) to understand Information Systems and Governmental Information Systems, relating to the concepts of Open Government and Open Data; b) identify the concept of Data Science and its application in Governmental Information Systems in the context of Library & Information Science; c) to indicate the relationships between Data Science and LIS applied in Governmental Information Systems processes. The research is of a bibliographic nature, of qualitative analysis, with an exploratory study, in order to analyze the multidisciplinary relations between LIS and Data Science, studying aspects of the use of these intersections in Governmental Information Systems. As a result, the research shows that Governmental Information Systems tend to incorporate the use of technologies, including those related to Data Science, in order to meet demands for transparency, accountability, access to information and better government services, with possibilities of correlations between LIS and Data Science in areas such as Open Data, interoperability, Knowledge Management, analytics and Artificial Intelligence. It is concluded that the study and application of these correlations is capable of generate benefits to the operation of Governmental Information Systems, considering the informational competences of LIS as support to the use of technologies, contributing to a greater interaction between government and society to meet the needs informational requirements, thus having the broad possibility of studies on the subject and application opportunities.
