The aim of this measurement is to analyze comparatively the productivity and the citation index of ten Brazilian authors which show major frequency in ISI, and that which can be named as Top 10 Brazil. In the methodological phase we have made a comparison between the appearance of these authors in Web of Science (WoS) and in a fourth generation search engine called Google Scholar (GS). The information recovery in both resources was done by author in a simple search. To refine the information in WoS we used ProCite, whereas for GS we utilized FlashGet version 1.9.2.1028. To establish the comparison between both resources we have employed scientific indexes, as well as the characteristics of every information resource, analyzing the quantitative part and the qualitative one. The information representations have been visualized by social networks maps, pictures and tables.Downloads
