ARCHIVOLOGY AND INFORMATION COMPETENCE(GPArqCoInfo)
Leader: Renata Lira Furtado
Leader: Celineide Rodrigues Cavalcante
Year of formation: 2019
REPERCUSSION: The group aims to develop research related to Competence in Information (CoInfo) applied to Archivology and the Archivist's profession, considering that these represent an environment of insertion of the precepts of CoInfo, in view of the relevance of the area in the context of information and its representativeness in society and the acquisition of elements that enable the development of skills that will be valid both personally and professionally in relation to the activities performed and that reflect directly on the Archive as a social institution. The consolidation of this research group is the result of the thesis "Information Competence in the archival scenario: a theoretical-applied contribution" (FURTADO, 2019) and research conducted between the years 2015-2018 that resulted in articles and publications in annals of national events and guidance of undergraduate and graduate course completion works.
CRITICAL STUDIES ON INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (GECCIT)
Leader: Cristian Berrío-Zapata
Leader: Fernando de Assis Rodrigues
Year of formation: 2016
REPERCUSSION: The research group aims to create a critical consciousness within the Information Sciences by empirically identifying the neglect of the problematics of power and conflict in the development of research and training activities in the study of information technology. As a response to this situation, it is proposed to develop research in areas that provide academic and community benefit in terms of contributing knowledge and creating spaces for critical and active training for students in all disciplines related to information, and to create action-research that promotes citizen autonomy, and levels the existing information asymmetries in favor of community well-being and the democratization of the distribution and use of information. The project also seeks to form a cooperative spirit, of effective use of research-based knowledge and theoretical work within an ethical framework, that strives to build a more just, democratic, and egalitarian society.

INFORMATION, SOCIETY AND ENVIRONMENT (GPINF)
Leader: Marise Teles Condurú
Leader: Maria do Socorro Almeida Flores
Year of formation: 2015
REPERCUSSION: The research group develops studies that contribute to the theoretical-methodological reflection of the existing relationship between the institutions of information-producing society, identifying and analyzing the sources of production of information that are pertinent to the process of organization and planning in the area of environmental management. To this end, research has been conducted with a focus on obtaining, accessing, and making available environmental information by information producers, aiming at transparency to support decision making based on the various Public Environmental Policies. Research is also carried out to analyze the quality of information for the development of information systems, as instruments that provide for the sharing of information, given the informational needs of the various organizational environments.

KNOWLEDGE ORGANIZATION AND REPRESENTATION LINGUISTIC APPROACHES IN ARCHIVES AND LIBRARIES - ORCALAB
Leader: Thiago Henrique Bragato Barros
Leader: Rita do Carmo Ferreira Laipelt
Year of formation: 2019
REPERCUSSION: Knowledge organization and representation deal with fundamental areas within Information Science. The processes, procedures, methodologies and approaches find privileged space in the universe of archives and libraries, since, it is through these institutions that Information Science and Organization and Representation are legitimized. In relation to archives, representation and organization are the basis for a change in approach, in organization and access. In the scope of Librarianship - Information Science, the representation and organization of information and knowledge are also recurrent themes. Thus, there has been a development of theoretical and methodological issues related to the thematic treatment of information, especially with regard to ontologies, thesaurus, taxonomies, classification systems, and indexing processes. Methodologically, it works with Linguistics, specifically addressing terminology, semantics, and discourse.
