ANALYSIS OF BOOKS AND BOOK CHAPTERS PUBLISHED BY PHYSICAL EDUCATION RESEARCHERS WITH PRODUCTIVITY GRANTS FROM BRAZIL’S NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT (CNPq)

Abstract

The study analyzes production of books and book chapters by Physical Education (PQ-EF) researchers who held productivity grants from Brazil’s National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), seeking to understand their trajectory and check trends regarding publications and possible changes in their characteristics in 1991-2016. The curricula of the 91 PQ-EF researchers holding productivity grants in 2017 were analyzed, with regard to books and book chapters, number of co-authors, and position among authors, for defined periods and by grant holder category. The results showed increase in the production of books and book chapters per capita and also in the number of authors per book and book chapter, suggesting publication strategies aimed at increasing productivity seen in production of articles.
