The field of tourism in Brazil: characterization and analysis of the researchers’ network and its regional dynamics

ABSTRACT We study the field of tourism in Brazil, taken as the individuals who, in their curriculum Lattes, declare they work in this field. The main objectives are to characterize these individuals, to verify the main institutions of academic formation and work, and to identify the main scientific journals. We used methods of bibliometric analysis and of social networks analysis. The results indicate the existence of a fragmented and not yet mature field of knowledge.摘要 本研究聚焦巴西旅游研究领域，研究对象为在拉塔斯学术简历（Lattes CV）中声明从事该领域工作的人员。本研究的核心目标包括：对该类研究对象进行特征刻画，明确其学术培养与从业的主要机构，并识别该领域的核心学术期刊。本研究采用文献计量分析与社会网络分析两种研究方法。研究结果显示，巴西旅游研究领域目前仍处于碎片化且尚未成熟的发展阶段。
