SOUSA, Raquel Juliana Prado Leite de. CONSTITUTION OF THE SCIENTIFIC FIELD OF LITERACY: BIBLIOMETRIC MAPPING OF THE BDTD THESES (1997-2016). Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2020, vol.50, n.176, pp.494-514.  Epub 18-Ago-2020. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/198053146655.

In order to identify the constitution of the scientific field of literacy in Brazil, 237 theses defended between 1997and 2016 available at the Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações [Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations] were analyzed, which allowed the realization of a bibliometric mapping focusing on the variables: a) temporal evolution; b) geographical and institutional distribution; and c) orientation and gender. There was an increase in doctoral research on the topic, 88.6% of which were defended between 2007 and 2016. A geographic discrepancy can be seen, with 51.48% of theses developed in the Southeast and no work carried out in the North. The research front shows a group of 10 teachers with more guidance. It was found that 74% of the guidelines, 82.28% of the authorship and 100% of the supervisors’ front are formed by female researchers. The indicators shed light on the understanding of the scientific field on literacy in Brazil by identifying some of its historical roots.
