Revista da Abordagem Gestáltica – Phenomenological Studies: It’s scientific production between 2007-2017

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the profile of the journal Revista da Abordagem Gestáltica - Phenomenological Studies, based on articles published between 2007 and 2017, available online. Initially a historical resumption of the journal’s appearance is made, passing through its essential changes to its current state, which was one of the first Brazilian journals focusing on phenomenology. In order to carry out the analysis, the method of the Systematic Review of Literature was chosen, aiming to understand the expressiveness of the journal in the scientific environment in which it is inserted, using, for that, the abstracts and keywords of the articles. The analysis pointed out a greater number of publications of Theoretical or Historical Essays, with inversion in recent years for a greater focus on Research Reports. Most articles are from public educational institutions. Despite the proximity of values, articles with single authorship are more numerous. Finally, using the keywords, a cloud of words was constructed that demonstrated that the most used word was Phenomenology, confirming the focus of the magazine.
