RESUMO

It verbalizes the influence of electronic communication (also of free access) and the commercial publishers control over scientific knowledge production. It starts from the point that the advantage of the advent of electronic media journal provides to scientific knowledge production, related to traditional support journal, is particularly related to acess speed and dinamization (time x space), not to contribute to paradigm changes within a domain. Concerning it has an exploratory, lining case study nature, it aims at analysing the use and the level of influence the electronic journals have been performing to scientific knowledge production within the University since the 1980s, as well as presenting the level of influence of commercial publishers, by means of studying the Bradfords (80/20) Law reproductivity, in order to contribute to discussion/ reflection on forming and establishing indicators and control devices for managing title collections of electronic journals (Consortiums and Search Engines). Through collection and title and year analysis in dissertations and thesis from three decades (1980s, 1990s and 2000s) of a certain domain, we have concluded that the hypothesis stated herein is valid. It seems that, due to the electronic communication phenomenon, researchers have been quoting more titles faster and faster. Therefore, the scientific progress seems to go forward quickly. As long as we have identified large influence from commercial publishers, we have also noticed the growth of free access to scientific information.
