The paper analyzes the concept of scientific institutionalization and its relationship with research in the context of the scientific production published in books, journal articles, book chapters and lectures in events outside Brazil, by Brazilian researchers registered at the Plataforma Lattes. A qualitative and diachronic analysis was performed by means of a survey on the publications in an attempt to analyze the evolution in the number of Brazilian documents published abroad, distribution of the publications both per country, author affiliation and type of document, in addition to authors' profiles. It is concluded that the analyzed studies have contributed for the acknowledgement of Brazilian researchers in Information Science (IS) in other countries and, as a consequence, there is a consolidation of the scientific institutionalization of this field in Brazil.
