Um sistema para coleta e apresentação de indicadores bibliométricos da Plataforma Lattes

Abstract

The Internet is the most widely used medium for the dissemination of scientific publications. The reason for this is an accelerated proliferation of scientific bases such as IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar and Web of Science. In Brazil, the Lattes Platform stores one of the most complete collections of researchers bibliographical data. Software systems and research use this data to generate indicators and statistics of productivity and collaboration, which is known as bibliometrics. Existing systems provide quantitative indicators of production over the web and allow visualizing the performance of institutions and researchers. However, some systems cannot be accessed or distributed freely, others lack some functionality such as the generation of collaboration networks, researcher’s profile or indicators of an institution. This work implements, delivers and evaluates an automated process of data extraction and a web system that provide production and collaboration bibliometric indicators, focusing on an institution and its researchers. The process consists of two parts: collection of the data to the database and the development of the web application Openlattes. Using the teachers curricula of UNIPAMPA, the data was successfully stored in MongoDB and, consequently, accessed dynamically by the web application. Openlattes presented production and coauthorship interactive indicators including features such as, for example, specifying to which teachers the indicator will be generated. The Openlattes user experience was evaluated as positive and enjoyable.
