Resumo
Caracterizada como um estudo de metapesquisa, a pesquisa sobre a pesquisa científica, esta dissertação teve como objetivo central fazer um levantamento da produção acadêmica expressa em teses e dissertações sobre o tema das Cidades Médias e Cidades de Porte Médio em três Programas de Pós-graduação Stricto Sensu em Geografia: da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia (FCT), do Instituto de Geociências e Ciências Exatas (IGCE), ambos da Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), e o Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia Humana da Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas (FFLCH) da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), no período compreendido entre 1960 até 2019, empreendendo reflexões metodológicas e avaliações quantitativas e qualitativas sobre a coletânea identificada. Para a investigação desenvolvemos uma metodologia específica que adota procedimentos e técnicas bibliométricas para identificação, coleta e análises das informações, confrontando elementos para identificar aspectos gerais e particulares entre os programas de pós-graduação escalados, assim como um conjunto de descobertas obtidas ao longo do desenvolvimento da pesquisa. Identificamos, conforme escopo de investigação, um total de 114 obras no período. Os programas de pós-graduação apresentaram ampla diferença quantitativa, com destaque ao da FCT/UNESP, que correspondeu com 58% da coletânea, seguido do IGCE/UNESP, com 27% e da FFLCH/USP, com 17%. Os resultados obtidos indicaram-nos os seguintes aspectos: distinta série histórica investigada em cada programa; amplo crescimento na produção científica total nos três programas a partir da década dos anos 2000; o aumento no número de pesquisas sobre Cidades Médias e Cidades de Porte Médio na transição do século XX para XXI; maior percentual de dissertações (54%) comparado ao de teses (46%) identificadas; destaque no quantitativo de cidades médias e cidades de porte médio paulistas tomadas como recorte espacial. Sobre os aspectos bibliométricos, os dados indicaram-nos o maior percentual de obras identificadas pelos termos de busca presentes apenas no campo Resumo, seguido da tríade Título-Resumo-Palavras-Chave ou compondo uma das Palavras-Chave do trabalho. Diante da análise integrada, e sempre considerando-se os critérios de busca e seleção determinados, pudemos concluir que o PPGG da FCT/UNESP destaca-se no quantitativo, na variedade de temas, processos e fenômenos abordados, no maior conjunto de cidades pesquisadas e no aspecto comparativo que promove nas investigações.
Characterized as a study of meta-research, the research on scientific research, this dissertation had as central objective to make a review of the academic production expressed in theses and dissertations on the theme of Medium Cities and Medium-sized Cities in three Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs in Geography: from the Faculty of Sciences and Technology (FCT) and the Institute of Geosciences and Exact Sciences (IGCE), both from the Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), and the Graduate Program in Human Geography from the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences (FFLCH) of the University of São Paulo (USP), in the period from 1960 to 2019, undertaking methodological reflections and quantitative and qualitative assessments on the identified collection. In order to that we developed a specific methodology that adopts bibliometric procedures and techniques for the identification, collection and analysis of information, confronting elements to identify general and particular aspects among the graduate programs, even as a set of discoveries obtained during the development of research. According to the scope of the investigation, we identified a total of 114 works in this period. The graduate programs showed a wide quantitative difference, with emphasis on FCT / UNESP, which accounted for 58% of the collection, followed by IGCE / UNESP, with 27% and FFLCH / USP, with 17%. The obtained results indicated the following aspects: distinct historical series investigated in each program; wide growth in total scientific production among the three programs from the decade of the 2000s; the increase of the number of researches on Medium Cities and Medium-sized Cities in the transition from the 20th to the 21st century; higher percentage of dissertations (54%) compared to the theses (46%) identified; prominence in the number of medium cities and medium-sized cities in São Paulo, Brazil, taken as the most spatial section studied. Regarding bibliometric aspects, the data indicated the highest percentage of works identified by the search terms present only in the Abstract field, followed by the triad Title-Abstract-Keywords or composing one of the keywords of the work. In view of the integrated analysis, and always considering the determined search and selection criteria, we could conclude that the PPGG of FCT/UNESP stands out in terms of quantity, variety of themes, processes and phenomena addressed, in the largest set of cities surveyed and in the comparative aspect it promotes in its investigations.
