Based on the present and future challenges and the importance of consolidation of Competitive Intelligence activity (CI) in Brazil, this article aimed to identify and analyze the CI researcher profile, the training, expertise and scientific production in Brazil. The research method understood the techniques of bibliometric and content analysis. The sample consisted of 1,434 resumes, reference data of 223 articles and 26 research projects in progress, recovered in an automated manner in the Lattes Platform, with the search term “competitive intelligence”. The results were: 1] visual representation of performance profile and formation of the Brazilian researcher in CI; 2] categorization of scientific production and research projects in CI; and 3] investigated the correlation of thematic publications in CI. We conclude that the results of this paper, contribute to the understanding of the interdisciplinarity of CI and its legitimacy as a research field in Information Science, to externalize the profile of the researchers involved in scientific research of IC activity.
