RESUMO

Studies that identify the scientific production come from certain scientific fields and the behavior of the communication of this area can contribute to the analysis of given field, from the disciplinary point of view, and show events or phenomena that characterize its behavior. The objective of this search was to analyse the discipline structure of AIDS studies through searchers, their academic shaped and scientific production. As theoretical foundation concepts were adopted from the interdisciplinarity of scientific fields, their relationships and intersections, scientific communication and information sources. For contextual foundation some pertinent information about AIDS and its field of research were utilized. The empirical material, obtained from lifting in the Groups Directory of Research of the National Council of Science and Technology - CNPq, was composed of a group of 76 researchers doctors registered in 26 groups of selected research who had at least an article published over 211 scientific journals listed in. The methodology applied in the analysis of was in accordance with empirical categories (area of origin and linkage of the groups, area of periodicals and area of academic training of researchers) and gnosiological categories (intersection between the results of empirical categories) identified in the object. The obtained result was a universe of 78 different disciplines that are set by linking the subject of the search. For the variety of areas and low intersection identified in the various instances (group, journal and researcher) the field of research in AIDS was considered multidisciplinary fields of knowledge.
