25 YEARS OF GT1 AT ENANCIB

ANALYSIS OF PAPERS PUBLISHED BETWEEN 2000 AND 2025

Abstract

This study presents an overview of the production published over 25 years by the Group of Historical and Epistemological Studies of Information Science, linked to the National Meeting of Research and Graduate Studies in Information Science. Given the scarcity of studies mapping this Group's trajectory, the objective of the study is to present an overview of the scientific production published over its 25 years of existence, identifying general aspects of production, authorship, and recurring themes. The investigation is descriptive, with a qualitative-quantitative approach, and uses as its main source a specialized database that gathers the proceedings of the event, complemented by searches on official portals when problems occurred in accessing full texts. Metadata from 486 papers published in 21 editions were collected and processed, with the support of the artificial intelligence model Codex (OpenAI) for data extraction, organization, and normalization. The results indicate variations in the number of papers per year, the predominance of themes related to information science, a diversity of keywords, and coauthorship networks marked by the participation of recurring researchers. It is concluded that the Group constitutes a relevant source for historical, epistemological, metric, and qualitative studies on the field.
