Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The bibliometric can be used to evaluate the production of institutionalized scientific knowledge, focusing on the production of theses and dissertations. The literature reports that these studies can highlight trends in the cognitive and social institutionalization of research, to strengthen and give visibility to science. This study presents the results of a literature review that mapped bibliometric studies that had as object documents of the theses and dissertations type, searching for the investigated bibliometric indicators. The methodology is characterized as basic and descriptive research, with a quant-qualitative approach, using the integrative literature review as a technical procedure. A sample of 29 studies was analyzed, based on the following categories: authorship, year of publication, areas of knowledge, objective and conclusion, method, data visualization, and collaboration networks. The results show the multidisciplinary character of bibliometric studies and their recurrent use to map scientific production in Brazilian PPGs. As future studies are suggested: mapping of the productivity of PPGs, collaboration networks and software for data collection and analysis.
