Abstract

Study of the implemented actions by the Brazilian and Portuguese coordinators of the Graduate Programs of the areas of Librarianship, Information Sciences and Documentation for the internationalization and visibility of the academic and scientific work. This research is characterized as a study of multiple cases of qualitative-interpretative nature, using content analysis as a research technique. Its relevance lies in the field of Multimedia and Education and Information Science. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with the coordinators of the selected Programs as scenarios of this study, linked to Public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) located in Brazil and Portugal. The results present the internationalization actions developed by the respondents through agreements, agreements and cooperation established with professors / researchers from foreign universities, aiming at professional qualification, as well as the establishment of partnerships for the development of collaborative writing for publications of works, preferably , in English language in indexed journals, for the development of research projects, participation in international events such as lecturers or for presentation of papers, as well as evaluators of international journals. Considering the results demonstrated by the information gathered through the interviews, it is concluded that these subjects recognize the potential of internationalization as a prerequisite for the expansion of the prestige and recognition of these scientific communities.
