This research attempts to define convergent tendencies between the knowledge constituting the publishing activity and the conceptual frame upon which Information Science is based. Taking shape as an exploratory study, the research tries to systematize and make coherent a definite mark from which the convergence between the two areas may be contemplated and analyzed. In the process of constructing its arguments, the research seeks to identify, amongst international literature, authors and theoretical proposals which lead to building the structure of said convergence, determining its statute and indicating the nature of its contribution for the Information Science epistemology. Aiming to extend the universe of its inferences, a selected segment of the literature published in Brazilian journals of Information Science within the latest ten years is taken into account, in order to verify the presence of bibliographic sources that disclose the repercussion of the idea of convergence between publishing activity and Information Science – such as profiled in this study – in the papers discussing the discipline’s epistemological foundations. The research also points out topics that after analyzed more deeply would enlarge the knowledge about this subject, suggesting further studies which may demonstrate and consolidate the links between the fields under investigation.
