Uso de análise multivariada para mapeamento do perfil de internacionalização das universidades federais brasileiras: um estudo exploratório a partir de dados disponíveis na base Web of Science. Em Questão, Porto Alegre, v. 20, n. 3, p. 61-72, 2014. Edição especial.e- 1808-5245http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20961The paper aims to study the use of multivariate analysis in order to contribute to the discussion and dissemination of this type of technique in scientometric studies in Brazil. It also aims to apply this technique and analyze its possible application to study the internationalization of Brazilian scientific production focusing on the 59 universities in the federal system. The study uses data from the database Web of Science, builds a new indicator to assess the rate of self-citation of universities and conducts a multivariate analysis using the statistical computing free software R. The results allow us to propose the arrangement of the universities in five groups according to their features revealed by the variables analyzed. The method proves to be easy to use and very useful for scientometric studies.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Análise multivariadaComponentes principaisInternacionalizaçãoUniversidades federaisWeb of ScienceMultivariate analysisMain componentsInternationalizationFederal universitiesWeb of ScienceArtigo
