It analyzesthe incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies(ICT) in the research process by PhD students in Information Science (IS)in the Iberian Area and in Brazil.Design/Methodology/Approach. The methodology adopted was literaturereview, an exploratory-descriptive study and a case study with doctoralstudents of six doctoral programs in the mentioned countries. Datacollection was done through semi-structured interviews and an electronicsurvey. Data treatment followed descriptive statistics patterns.Results/Discussion. 174 responses were obtained. The group consistsmostly of female students (67%), ages 25-59, with IS Education (50%).The study revealed that ICT pervasively permeates all phases of educationand doctoral production. Concerning the publication of results, respondentshave preference for traditional scientific outputs and validation.Conclusions. In general, Information Science doctoral students in of thethree countries mentioned have increasingly incorporated ICT in theirscholarly communication practices, consider that their rapid evolution is anegative aspect for their adoption and that the Doctoral Programs couldfoster more the use of these tools.Originality/Value. The Data collected can be used to better discuss doctoraltraining in IS, analyze patterns of scientific communication and serveas a contribution to the construction of a cartography of this area, so necessaryto the current scientific agenda.
