English abstract

This paper presents results of study on the characteristics of search activities, access to and use of information, and communication habits of researchers from scientific research institutes. From the methodological point of view, it is a mixed methods study which adopted the concurrent triangulation strategy. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews and checklist, and then submitted to statistical and text analysis. The research sphere was consisted of researchers linked to the research units of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, and the sample basis were the researchers of the Brazilian Centre for Physics Research (CBPF) and Museum of Astronomy and Related Sciences (MAST). Among other aspects, the findings shows that the safeguarded their disciplinary differences, search, access and communication activities, regardless of the knowledge area, occurring mainly in the digital environment; communication habits are stimulated by motives common to scientists and social scientists and humanists, share knowledge and visibility are the main reasons for the dissemination of research results, physicists are naturally within the open access context.

Apresenta resultados de estudo sobre características das atividades de busca, acesso e uso da informação, assim como hábitos de comunicação científica de pesquisadores de institutos de pesquisa. Do ponto de vista metodológico, é um estudo de abordagem mista que adotou a estratégia de triangulação concomitante. Os dados foram coletados por meio da aplicação de questionários, realização de entrevistas e lista de verificação e, em seguida, submetidos à análise estatística e de texto. O universo da pesquisa foi constituído dos pesquisadores vinculados às unidades de pesquisa do Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação e a base amostral foram os pesquisadores do Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas (CBPF) e do Museu de Astronomia e Ciências Afins (MAST). Entre outros aspectos, os resultados revelaram que, a resguardadas suas diferenças disciplinares, as atividades de busca, acesso e comunicação da informação científica, independentemente da área, ocorrem preponderantemente em ambiente digital; hábitos de comunicação são estimulados por motivações comuns a físicos e a cientistas sociais e humanistas; compartilhar o conhecimento e busca por visibilidade constituem os principais motivos para a disseminação de resultados de pesquisa; físicos estão naturalmente inseridos no contexto do acesso aberto à informação científica.
