Abstract

Objective: to analyze the bibliographies of the teaching plans of information metric studies subjects, verifying the references used as a source of research by students and bibliographic support by teachers.

Method: the research corpus consisted of 26 syllabuses, for analysis of authors, works and number of citations, investigation of academic background; bibliographic type; type of authorship; language analysis; year analysis; most cited publications, divided by titles and journal titles; and study of bibliographic co-citations.

Results: most cited author: Maria Cristina Hayashi; with the most publications: Adilson Pinto; most cited book: Bibliometrics: theory and practice. Most cited elements: scientific article, the Portuguese language, the 2000s and 2010s and the Ciência da Informação journal, and the UFR and UNIR universities are the ones with the most joint references.

Conclusions: the bibliography cited addresses the traditional perspectives of metric studies.
