ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the Brazilian scientific production in Orofacial Motricity from the annals of Brazilian congresses and journals in the field of Speech Therapy in the last six years. Methods: for this bibliometric review, data related to the year of production, type of study, Brazilian region/State, modality of higher education institution, event/magazine and presentation format were considered and tabulated. The data were discussed from the perspective of quantitative and representative values. Results: 1,299 studies have been published in the past six years. The highest production was achieved in 2014 and there was a predominance of original studies. Public higher education institutions produced more studies when compared to private ones. The event with the largest number of publications was the Brazilian Congress on Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, and the journal with the largest number of publications was CEFAC Journal. The Southeast region was predominant in publications, followed by the Northeast region. Conclusion: the characterization of scientific production in orofacial motricity allowed us to verify that this is a consolidated area of activity, although it still requires advances.

OBJETIVO: analisar a produção científica fonoaudiológica nacional no que diz respeito à gagueira, entre os anos de 1980 a 2008, considerando: período da publicação; distribuição de frequência por período; tipos de publicação; temáticas abordadas; vertente epistemológica e área da Fonoaudiologia a que o trabalho pertence. MÉTODOS: seleção e análise de publicações em livros, capítulos de livros e periódicos nacionais de Fonoaudiologia. RESULTADOS: foram encontradas 131 publicações: estando 0,8% na década de 80; 15,2% na de 90; e 84% no período de 2000-2008. Quanto ao tipo formam publicados, 8,4% em livros, 42% de capítulos de livro e 49,6% de periódicos. Quanto às temáticas, foram mais frequentes: "Clínica Fonoaudiológica" (50%); "Reflexões Teóricas" (9,4%); "Características da Fluência" (7,2%); "Gagueira e Audição" (5,8%); "Atitudes em Relação à Gagueira" (5,2%); "Origem da Gagueira" (5,2%) e "Características da Gagueira" (4,4%). Quanto à vertente epistemológica, 74% era positivista, 22,2% dialético histórica e 3,8% fenomenológica. As áreas fonoaudiológicas mais encontradas foram: Motricidade Orofacial (37,4%), Linguagem (34,3%) e Nenhuma das Áreas Fonoaudiológicas (25,2%). CONCLUSÃO: a produção pesquisada teve o crescimento mais expressivo de 2000 a 2008. O fato de a produção encontrar-se principalmente na forma de artigos e capítulos de livros revela interesse tanto em pesquisa como na construção de teoria. A presença das três vertentes epistemológicas indica que o tema gagueira é controverso e complexo, isso é indicado também pelo fato de a produção distribuir-se pelas áreas de Motricidade Orofacial e Linguagem. Há necessidade de desenvolver a produção na área da Saúde Pública.PURPOSE: to analyze the Brazilian Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences production on stuttering, between the years 1980 and 2008, considering the: publication period; distribution per period; types of publication; themes; epistemological filiations and the area of Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences. METHODS: selection and analysis of books, book chapters, and scientific articles published in national journals of Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences. RESULTS: 131 publications were found: 0.8% published during the 80s; 15.2% during the 90s; and 84% from 2000 to 2008. Regarding the type of publications, 8.4% were books; 42% book chapters, and 49,6% research articles. Regarding the themes, the most frequent ones were: Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic (50%); Theoretical Reflections (9.4%); Fluency Characteristics (7.2%); Stuttering and Hearing (5.8%); Attitudes towards Stuttering (5.2%); Origin of Stuttering (5.2%); and Characteristics of Stuttering (4.4%). Regarding the epistemological feature: 74% were positivist; 22.2% dialectical historical; 3.8% phenomenological. The Speech-Language and Hearing areas most present in the written production were Oral Sensorial Motor System (37.4%), Language (34.3%) and None of the Speech-Language (25.2%). CONCLUSION: the scientific production on stuttering had the most expressive increase during 2000 to 2008. The appearance of the production mainly as scientific articles and book chapters reveals an interest both in research and in theoretical construction. The presence of the three epistemological filiations suggests the controversy and complexity of the stuttering issue, this is also suggested by the fact that the production is predominantly distributed by the Oral Sensorial Motor System and Language areas. It is needed to develop the production in the Public Health area.

Purpose: to analyze the formation of Brazilian speech-language pathologists (SLP) PhDs in the period 2009-2013. Methods: data collection was done through consultation with the Lattes Platform from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) with the descriptors “Language and Hearing Sciences and "PhDs" and considered as inclusion criteria to be speechlanguage pathologist and have earned a PhD degree in the determined period The data were categorized according to the variables: gender, year of submission of the thesis, School, insertion of program by area of expertise of the CNPq and theme developed in the thesis according to the areas set out in the Language and Hearing Sciences and recognized by the Brazilian Society Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. Data were analyzed descriptively and statistically. We applied the test of association using the chi-square for trend analysis to second-order polynomial regression was applied and and it was taken a significance level of 5%. Results: the reporting period totaled 271 PhDs degrees and the largest number of theses was achieved by women (266- 98.2%), in 2012 (72- 26.6%), in public universities (216- 79.7%), located in the Southeast region (188 -69.4%), belonging to the Health Sciences Programs (174- 64.2%), and written on language-related topics (95- 35.1%). Conclusions: the survey, coupled with previous research, showing a total of 775 doctors with similar profile to the previously researches but differing in the SLP insertion in graduate programs not only linked to the health areas, reflecting the expansion of the various performance of this professional fields.

Purpose: to identify the profile of research productivity grants of ConselhoNacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) in the area of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. Methods: from the list of grantees of research productivity in the area of Speech with current grants in 2010, were verified characteristics of training, publishing articles in databases: LILACS, SciELO Brazil, MEDLINE, and Web of Science, identifying the production of scientific articles of scholarship in the Brazilian scientific community, published between 2006-2010. It was also used the JCR indicator and the Qualis classification for analysis of journals. Results: of the 46 grantees, 45 (98%) are graduated in Speech, Language and Hearing Science and are engaged in teaching activities, 22 (47.83%) in the Southeast and 24 (52.17%) have institutional affiliation in public universities. Regarding production, were identified 935 articles, of which 816 (87.27%) in 48 Brazilian journals and 119 (12.72%)in 47 foreign journals. With respect to journals, from 95 Brazilian and foreign titles analyzed, 38 (40%) showed no impact factor. Conclusions: the presence of women is great in this knowledge area, with the highest occurrence of PQ researchers with institutional affiliation in public universities, located in the Southeast and South country regions. The analysis of scientific articles production from scholars of Speech tended to publish their articles in Brazilian journals, while seeking editorial quality: peerreviewed and indexed in databases, combined with the JCR indicator and the Qualis classification.

Purpose: to describe the international scientific literature on stuttering published between 2005 and 2010. Method: selection and analysis of online, peer reviewed publications. The organized data highlighted the following characteristics: 1) number of publications per period; 2) addressed themes; 3) epistemological affiliation of contributors; 4) methodological procedures, and 5) age group of the subjects studied. Results: 339 articles found in 76 journals were analyzed. The Journal of Fluency Disorders was the most frequent contributor (94;27.73%). Two themes stood out: Characteristics of Stuttering, with 150(44.25%) articles, and Treatment of Stuttering, with 106(31.27%) articles. The research method most used was Survey (157; 46.31%). The majority of research featured the Positivist (324;95.57%) paradigm. The most studied age group was Adult (174;45.31%). Conclusion: there is a discreet growth in studies about stuttering, mostly featuring the positivistic approach. A significant development within the Positivistic studies is the emergence of studies that frame qualitative data in a quantitative mode, supporting the view of stuttering as a multifactorial phenomenon. Many studies have further refined the identification of aspects present in stuttering by distinguishing factors viewed simply as characteristic of stuttering from those viewed as possibly causative. Altogether, these findings endorse stuttering as a complex subject which poses a challenge to scientists, calling for new epistemological approaches in order to unveil these newly identified distinctions. There is need for more research on stuttering for preventive health and wellness promotion, as well as studies using Clinical Case Study as method of investigation, and also studies focused on adolescents.
