| Abstract | With the adoption of different research strategies identified in the text as "Numbers", "Concepts" and "Quasi letters", this thesis aim to understand the relations between conditions of scientific performance, researchers informational behaviors, characteristics of scientific publications and determinants of international scientific recognition in the Brazilian context. In "Numbers", data from bibliometric research were presented to characterize the production and the impact of certain research areas in Brazil, considering the origin (national or foreign) of the journals in which the results were published, as well as international collaboration. The sample consisted of papers published by Brazilian researchers in 19 areas of knowledge published from 2002 to 2011, totaling 85,082 articles. For impact's calculation, a standardized indicator called Relative Subfield Citedness (Rw) was used, adopting a window of 5 years to obtain measures evaluated in two distinct years: 2007 and 2012. Data of articles and citations were collected on the Web of Science database. From results obtained, it is remarkable that for most of the subareas presented, from 2002/2006 to 2007/2011, a performance improvement in the world rankings of production was observed. In relation to publications in national and foreign journals, a tendency to maintain the production distribution of subareas according to the origin of the periodical was noticed. In the context of impact, a lower Rw pattern was identified for Brazilian articles published in national journals in all subareas, compared with those published in foreign journals; in some subareas, even those published in foreign journals exceed the average global impact. Adopting another research strategy, a qualitative study was conducted based on interviews with members of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC), about their perceptions regarding the conditions of scientific activity in Brazil, as well as their own behaviors relative to the construction, communication and use of scientific information. In "Concepts", the search for a structure of analysis for the data of this qualitative research is reported, which resulted in the proposition of a model based on the premise that the informational behaviors of the researchers include strategies that aim both to ensure the fulfillment of their production of knowledge, as well as to increase the chances of social acceptance of their work. Considering the emphasis of this conception, the categories of analysis proposed were grouped in a model that was called Model 2C2S, identifying that informational behaviors can be constituted as Knowledge, Conservation (2C), Succession or Subversion (2S) strategies within the framework of Power of a research area. The concepts that support this premise are originated in Bourdieu's notion of the scientific field, whose scheme on the relations between "conditions of existence," "habitus," |
