| Sumario: | This work aims to evaluate the collection of the brazilian scientific data base “Portal de Periódicos CAPES” through the journals cited in Ph.D dissertations. It is also intended to analyze the most cited journals (core), identifying the country of the publications, which one are indexing in the Web of Science, Scopus, Latindex and SciELO databases and identify the Qualis/Capes classification, the brazilian system to evaluate scientific journals. All analyzes will be performed comparatively from the nine major areas of knowledge of Capes, aiming to detect similarities and differences between the patterns of use of journals and the informational needs of the Ph.D researchers. It uses the simple and random stratified sampling techniques to define the sample of 90 Ph.D dissertations, 10 of each major area of knowledge, accounting for 20.3% of the 443 dissertations presented in 2015 at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil). The results indicate that 84.76% of the electronic journals cited in the dissertations are available in Portal de Periódicos CAPES. Biological Sciences (94.15%) is the highest availability area and Linguistics, Arts and Letters (69.23%), the lowest . International journals, mainly from the United States, England and the Netherlands, are most used in most areas, except in the Social Sciences, Humanities and Linguistics, Letters and Arts, which use more brazilian journals. It is found, therefore, that the Capes Journals portal is significantly adequate to the needs of Ph.D researchers, especially in the technological, natural and health sciences, wich uses manly international journals, indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus and classify at A1 and A2 Qualis/Capes. |
