Abstract

This paper presents the main achievements of a study sought to investigate the informational behavior of the young Brazilian researcher in the practice of scientific research. It was used a sample of 14 student winners of the Young Scientist Award (Prêmio Jovem Cientista) in the category of high school students. This award is sponsored by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). By applying the technique of content analysis, the study was set to build the semantic network representation of scientific discourse, drawn from the vocabulary used by these young researchers in their texts. The Young Scientist Award was established as an important moment in the lives of students: on social recognition, career development and learning of research techniques. It was concluded that the contest lacks strength in making the results available to society, mainly concerning the limited access to the winner texts.
