A produção científica publicada pelo Instituto Oswaldo Cruz no período 1900 a 1917: um estudo exploratório

Abstract

The present article is an exploratory study on the scientific material published by Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) from 1900 to 1917. It aims at characterizing the initial production of the institute and its scientists' concern with information. In order to characterize such production, publication data and citation analysis have been used. Through a comparative analysis of publication data and their citations by other scientists, the author evaluates part of IOC scientists' behavior towards the quality of products and as information users. The present study builds up a general view of those scientists' areas of activities and interests in the period 1900-1917 and characterizes part of their role as information producers and users.
