Keywords:
Bibliometric indicators. Scientific production. Post Graduate Programs in Mathematics.Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyze, in a comparative way, by category of grade, some indicators used by Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) in evaluating the performance of Graduate Programs in Mathematics in Brazil, for the triennium 2007-2009, in order to contribute to understanding of the complex methodology involved in triennial evaluations of graduate programs. Based on the indicators present in the Comparative Worksheet of Triennial Assessment, Area Mathematics / Probability and Statistics, from 2007 to 2009, present at CAPES Portal, contingency tables were built for the 26 graduate programs in Mathematics, presenting each indicator and the program concepts. Overall, there was a trend of association of all indicators analyzed and the concept obtained, with older and larger programs with better grades in the assessment. Also, with the exception of journal articles Qualis B5, the article average per professor grows as grows the program grade.Downloads
