Abstract

This study aims to present aspects of approximation between sociological studies on knowledge, science and scientific knowledge and Information Science, found in the periodic scientific production of a universe of 98 Productivity Fellows in Brazil. We aimed to identify the referent authors from the sociological fields that focus on knowledge, science, and scientific knowledge featured in this production; to highlight similarities or differences between the researchers and the referent authors; and to diachronically analyze the presence and coupling of the authors from these three sociological fields in the periodical production of the PQ fellows. As methodological procedures, we situated the PQs within the fields, starting with a priori classification, and identified the presence of these authors by performing searches in Brapci, based on their scientific productions, pointing out the coupling relations between citing authors and the most cited referents. Results show Castells, Bourdieu, Cronin, Popper, and Merton as the most cited sociologists, and we also produced an adjacency matrix to verify the most cited sociologists in each of the fields. We built the network of referents to expose the coupling relations between them and the PQs. We conclude this article by highlighting the presence of the authors cited in the PQs' productions in all categories, and the identification of the dynamics of scientific production within its movements, based on the analytical procedures.
