This paper shows the results of an empirical research about the significance that scientific events take for a community of researchers from different science areas. From a methodological point of view, this is an exploratory and descriptive study, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. The investigated population was composed by 150 researchers linked to a federal institution of higher education located in the state of São Paulo (Brazil). The methodology used to collect data was an online questionnaire. Empirical research data were categorized and analyzed in the light of the theoretical framework of the Sociology of Science and Information Science. The results showed specificities of different areas of knowledge regarding scientific communication events, but confirms that they still are one of the media most used by researchers and constitute a good thermometer to check the peer review acceptance.Downloads
