Evaluation texts in web: for a policy to promote virtual publications abstract

Abstract

This article examines the academic evaluation texts made available through the WEB. Its objective is to propose a hypothesis that can truly explain why the graduate programs situated in the North, Northeast and Center regions have little visibility in terms of their production of such texts outside of the traditional physical media, reflecting a disdain for the possibilities offered by the virtual environment, which is faster and more economical. This article tries to overcome the common sense hypotheses and proposes a detour that considers the phenomenon in its essence in order to get beyond its pseudo-concreteness. Its central argument is that the Qualis, implemented by CAPES to evaluate academic publications is a factor that inhibits and impedes that type of production, which in turn contributes to reproducing decisions and ideological modes of action that are characteristic of the centers of publication and capital accumulation in this country.
