This paper deals with potentials and limits related to the use of data processing to assist in the production and systematization of scientific knowledge. It aims to discuss the feasibility of using automated collection techniques for surveying and producing data that can be used in scientific research. As a demonstration, it seeks to automatically reproduce processes related to the collection of research data previously published in this journal, describing methodologically how the extraction and treatment of these data was organized and developed. As a result, it finds that automated processing can be a productive and efficient alternative to assist in the systematization and analysis of the growing accumulation of publications in the scientific field, which may open new methodological paths for research in Physical Education, especially considering the volume of data subject to collection and analysis on social networks, forums and other web platforms.
