Abstract

This paper seeks to identify and analyze the use of bibliometrics in theses and dissertations produced in Brazil. Data taken from the theses database of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes), from 1987 to 2007 have found 82 works as universe of analysis. The works have been distributed by year, institution, graduate course level (doctor/master), area of knowledge and advisors. The results indicate a renewed interest for bibliometric studies, show a growth in the Brazilian production and interest in this field and raise material for interdiciplinary studies involving Information Science and other scientific disciplines.
