Potencialidade das redes sociais e de recursos imagéticos para a divulgação científica em periódicos da área de Ciência da Informação

Abstract

In view of the changes in the scientific communication process caused by the internet, the expansion of access to scientific knowledge has been more demanded by society, although this process is still restricted to specific communities. Thus, it is proposed to identify the use of social networks and image resources in scientific communication and adopted by scientific journals in the area of Information Science in order to present data on meeting this new demand. A documentary study was carried out on the websites of 14 scientific journals in Information Science. The use of social networks as a strategy for scientific dissemination wasfound, although it can be highlighted that the journals could use more media and imagery resources to increase the visibility of the published research.
