Thus, it is not surprising that researchers and people interested in science share news or brief content containing a link to a scientific paper. This type of dissemination beyond academic environments, which observes the \u201cscience shared on the net\u201d (GOUVEIA; SOUZA, 2018), has been researched and measured in the last ten years. However, as it is a recent field of study, there are still few researchers in the world dedicated to it. In Brazil this is no different, and the article \u201cAltmetric studies in Brazil: An analysis from the curricula on the Lattes Platform-CNPq\u201d, published by Transinforma\u00e7\u00e3o (v. 31), sought to unravel from 94 Lattes curricula found linked to this theme, called \u201caltmetrics\u201d &#8211; in Portuguese \u201caltmetria\u201d (GOUVEIA, 2013) &#8211; , in which social media networks these studies have been made, where in the country are these researchers, what are their research areas and the terms and themes associated with these researches. The paper provides an overview of altmetrics and its consolidation process in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>To start with, searches for the curricula in the Lattes base found 37 researchers with a doctorate and 57 without. Next, we also searched for curricula with researches on Twitter, Facebook, and Mendeley (an online reference manager platform available at: http:\/\/www.mendeley.com). Crossing the data, we obtained a Venn diagram of curricula on altmetrics and these other topics. It was also identified the main area of \u200b\u200bactivity of each of the researchers and it was found that most of the time they come from Information Science, with Communication in second place.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_537\" style=\"width: 2710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/humanas.blog.scielo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/grafo-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-537\" class=\"Graph of terms wp-image-537 size-full\" title=\"Graph of terms\" src=\"https:\/\/humanas.blog.scielo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/grafo-1.jpg\" alt=\"Graph of terms\" width=\"2700\" height=\"1633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/humanas.blog.scielo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/grafo-1.jpg 2700w, https:\/\/humanas.blog.scielo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/grafo-1-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/humanas.blog.scielo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/grafo-1-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/humanas.blog.scielo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/grafo-1-1024x619.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/humanas.blog.scielo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/grafo-1-150x91.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2700px) 100vw, 2700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-537\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graph of terms in the titles of articles and proceedings with at least three occurrences (n=30) Source: GOUVEIA, 2019.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Filtering the academic productions of the curriculum with altmetrics, only those that effectively dealt with the subject were left. We found 26 journal articles and 36 communications in proceedings. It was then possible to verify the start with mostly theoretical works until those devoted to journal evaluation, science and technology indicators, the role of the librarian, open access, institutional studies, among others came to populate the field. In addition, platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Mendeley and also Altmetric (an aggregator of altmetric data available at: http:\/\/www.altmetric.com) have been found to be used as data sources, while various reference bases served as research delimitators. The Lattes base itself has been used in altmetric research, as well as studies on theses and dissertations.<\/p>\n<p>When we think about the dissemination, science communication and the scientific debate in social media networks, we realize the importance of observing this process and trying to understand the dynamics that are involved in the online attention of science in Brazil. The study shows that altmetrics researchers are geographically distributed in Brazil, and that the variety of approaches and themes has grown establishing the field. This is a picture of altmetrics research in Brazil since its arrival, which may serve as a basis for further studies.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>GOUVEIA, F. C.
