Abstract

This work aims to analyze the student scientific production of the Course of Archival Science of the Federal University of Amazonas, represented by the course completion papers and articles presented as a requirement for completion of graduation. It consists of a qualitative-quantitative approach, based on bibliographic and documentary sources, using bibliometric methods for the proposed analysis. It presents a brief explanation about the metric studies of information and studies on the scientific production of archival science in Brazil, in addition to an overview of its teaching at undergraduate level, with emphasis on Amazonas. It describes the themes, universes, research sources and keywords used by students, as well as their advisors and co-authors. It develops indicators from the archival bibliographic references identified in the consulted works, involving types of materials cited, places, languages of publication and average life of the literature used, in addition to the most recurring periodicals, authors and works. It concludes from the analyzes performed, that the scientific production considered covers a thematic diversity in line with the national debate and researches with themes more focused on the role of archives and archival practices in public institutions in the northern region of the country, mainly using interviews, observations and questionnaires in the survey of the studied data. It identifies in the references analyzed a literature with an average life of 13 years, composed mainly of books and periodical articles, works in Portuguese and published in Brazil, more than half coming from the southeast, in addition to the incipient citation of works of Amazonian origin. It points out contributions of student scientific production to the development of the archival science in the regional context of the profession and the production of knowledge.
