This article is a descriptive research and a bibliometric study with a quantitative approach. Its sample is composed of 31 articles from periodic publications from different areas, such as: Accounting, Economy, Computer Sciences, Electrical and Hydraulic Engineering, Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and, also, articles that were published in an electronic library called Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) from 2002 to 2009. Among the results, one was able to notice that the “B5” (Qualis Capes) classification has shown a higher number of articles, as well as that 2008 was the year with a higher number of publications
