This article analyses publications from Brazil in Library and Information Science (Web of Science). The main objectives are: to know the production’s characteristics, to analyze the country’s profile of activity and to detect the documentary corpus used as a conceptual framework. The methodology consists of two stages. At first, papers were collected and the main bibliometric indicators of activity, specialization and collaboration were obtained. Bibliographic coupling method was used in the second stage to detect "Bibliographical communities" with common references. The results show that 910 documents have been published by Brazilian centers between 2000 and 2014, especially in Portuguese, wherein the main dissemination ways are national magazines. Different bibliographic clusters were detected with specific topics, authors and related reference: Open Access studies, information retrieval, metric studies, knowledge organization and scientometrics. The latter community is the most international, due to both consumption and diffusion magazines.Downloads
