Description
Summary:Aiming to cooperate with the management of Vértices, academic journal published by Essentia (Instituto Federal Fluminense), this study analyzes the production of original scientific papers in the period 1997-2012. The article is based on the study made by Francisco (2011) on the journal RAE-Eletrônica. Following this methodology, we conducted a quantitative and qualitative exploratory study of 250 scientific papers distributed, in 14 volumes available on the journal website. Results show that the journal has increased its national visibility, 41% of the articles are in the field of Humanities, and two-thirds of the authors do not work for the same institution of the publishers. This indicates the acceptable endogenous value of the journal. In addition, Besides, the period of publications investigated for this study (2010, 2011 e 2012) shows that Vértices has increased the number of publications dealing with socio-environmental, socioeconomic and political issues related to the various regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro.
