Considering that Universities are based on teaching, research, and extension pillars,
it is imperative to use methods to assess their technical-scientifi production. Through
scientometrics, the technical-scientifi contribution in certain areas is measured, identifying
institutional potentials and opportunities. In the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA)
case study, the following problems were observed in the management of their research:
diffiulty in collecting and organizing the institution’s research data, integration with institutional systems, advertising, and transparency of productions technical-scientifi. Such
facts impact research management concerning resource allocation, for example. Aiming
to solve the above issues, this work proposes the development of a software artifact for
the management and publication of data related to the technical-scientifi production of
researchers linked to UFOPA. The artifact enables greater transparency, social inclusion
of the university, and data-oriented decision-making capacity, assisting in the research and
innovation management and evaluating technoscientifi policies. The present work was
carried out according to the Design Science Research method, including the development
of modules for automated data collection and analysis from the Lattes Platform and visualization of Scientometric Indicators of technoscientifi production. It is expected that the
product will enable greater effiiency in public resources management, fostering inter and
intra-institutional partnerships and increasing the research impact. The system is scalable
and can be adopted by other Science and Technology Institutions.
