Descrição
Resumo:Higher education institutions play a vital role in generating scientific knowledge through programs like scientific initiation scholarships. Mapping the publications produced through these programs is a key method for assessing and highlighting the development of knowledge. This study examines the scientific outputs of . This article aims to analyze the scientific output of the Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC) of the Federal University of Ceará, focusing on the communication mediums employed by researchers (e.g., journal articles, conference proceedings). Employing an exploratory, descriptive, and documentary research design with a mixed-methods case study approach, the research utilizes scientific initiation reports as data, categorized based on publication outcomes. The analysis focuses on projects within Applied Social Sciences (SAS) and is statistically grounded in theoretical frameworks related to the Qualis ratings of publications on the Plataforma Sucupira of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CNPq). The findings reveal that scientific outputs from these initiation projects primarily take the form of journal academic papers and conference proceedings. Mapping these outputs provides a representative sample of the university's scholarly production, addressing institutional, scientific, and societal needs, and thereby supporting the educational development of undergraduate researchers in scientific initiation, a principal goal of the PIBIC program.
