Abstract

CAPES Portal of Periodicals, as public policy, has as its mission the democratization, dissemination and propagation of high-level scientific knowledge and information, with a view to strengthening the development of research and the evolution of science. In this perspective, this research had as general objective to analyze the knowledge, use and satisfaction of the graduation e and postgraduation stricto sensu students within the scope of UFTM, located in the campus of Uberaba-MG, in relation to the CAPES Portal of Periodicals and the scientific information resources it offers. The specific objectives were: to describe the characteristics of the participants regarding the variables: demographic; academics; dissemination, training and incentive; barriers; practices, advantages and access to graduation and postgraduate stricto sensu; to identify the knowledge, use and satisfaction of graduation and postgraduate stricto sensu students about the resources of the CAPES Portal of Periodicals; to describe the association between the demographic and academic variables with knowledge and not knowledge of the CAPES Portal of Periodicals according to graduation and postgraduation stricto sensu; describe the association between demographic variables; academics; dissemination, training and incentive and barriers with the use and not use of the CAPES Portal of Periodicals according to graduation and postgraduation stricto sensu, describe the association between demographic variables; academics; practices; advantages and access with satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the CAPES Portal of Periodicals according to graduation and postgraduation stricto sensu. This is a quantitative, observational, analytical and crosssectional study, carried out at the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro, located in the city of Uberaba. A total of 4,301 graduation students enrolled from the second year and 699 from the stricto sensu postgraduate course participated in the study. The sample size should have a proportion of 10 respondents for each variable, as the analyses were performed for a maximum of 32 variables together, the minimum sample required was 320 students. For data collection, a web survey questionnaire was used, with 27 questions, constructed from the Google Forms tool sent by e-mail to the students. The instrument was opened for 54 consecutive days. The frequency distribution, Chi-square test (p <0.05) and Multiple Correspondence Factor Analysis were used to data analysis. The knowledge of the CAPES Portal of Periodicals by the students of the graduate degree stricto sensu was associated with the female sex; the26 use of other research sources; to the age group of 22 to 30 years; to have carried out monitoring, university extension and scientific initiation; to the dedication of 20 to 49.9 hours per month to the research. The non-use of the CAPES Portal of Periodicals by graduation students was associated to the age group of 18 to 24 years; nonparticipation in virtual training; dissatisfaction with the disclosure of the Portal and to the non-incentive of the use and not use articles in class of the Portal of Periodicals, by the teachers. The satisfaction with the use of the CAPES Portal of Periodicals by the students of the graduate degree stricto sensu was associated to the appropriate use of its tools; speed of access; quality of content; diversity and quantity of sources; the updated material; trust and credibility of information; contemplation of their area of knowledge; availability of articles in full text; gratuity; to find the materials they need and the materials available to meet their information needs. It should be noted that, close to the origin of the factorial plan are the graduation students, which means that they are close to the average profile of postgraduation stricto sensu students, but to a lesser extent.
