The Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (IBICT) announced, in 2026, four guiding concepts for its next Strategic Plan: informational integrity and justice, information for citizenship, Open Science, and informational sovereignty. This study aimed to understand the extent to which the scientific production profile of IBICT researchers aligns with these axes, in order to identify priority areas for internal funding. ScriptLattes was used to extract publications from 48 higher-education-level researchers for the period 2023–2025, followed by manual extraction of the keywords from each document. The terms were classified according to their thematic proximity to the four concepts, and the distribution of researchers across each axis was analyzed. The results show a strong concentration in the axes “information for citizenship” (29 associations) and “Open Science” (26), whereas “informational sovereignty” has the smallest contingent (10), with 90% holding doctoral degrees. The terminological analysis reveals interdisciplinarity with fields such as sociology, law, health, and computing. The study concludes that funding should prioritize informational sovereignty and the integration among concepts, as well as support the qualification of researchers with lower academic degrees.
