Resumo
The development of information technologies has affected the way researchers deal with the information used in conducting and communicating the results of their research. The objective of this study was to identify the strategies and resources used by Brazilian researchers in the Education domain to organize their collections and to verify if the difficulties in the management of these collections affect the scientific production of these researchers. To conduct the data collection, an electronic questionnaire was applied to researchers linked to the ten Brazilian universities best placed in the Folha de Sao Paulo ranking in three subsequent evaluations. A total of 205 responses were obtained, 163 of which were considered valid for analysis. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software and the Chi-Square statistical test was applied in order to verify the association of the distribution of the participants' responses between the study variables. The results showed that the minority of participants uses specific tools to manage their collections. It was also found that difficulty in managing their collections has impacted on the scientific production of the participants and that those who have undergone some training on tools to organize and store their documents face less difficulty in recovering materials from their personal collection. It is intended that the research results can serve as a basis for the preparation of librarians to serve this group of researchers and for the adaptation and proposition of information products and services related to PIM.
