  This study presents an overview of IS&LS thematic trends in Portugal between
2001 and 2012. The results were obtained by means of an analysis, using
expeditious qualitative and quantitative techniques, of the bibliographic
records of proceedings papers identified during this period. These records were
processed using two techniques: a manual subject classification and an
automated co-word analysis of the Author-Assigned Keywords. From this we
designed cluster and co-occurrence maps, using the VOSviewer and the Pajek
software packages. The results indicated an accentuated dynamism in the
thematic evolution of this documental corpus, apart from revealing a
significant difference among the themes transmitted in nationally and
internationally visible production.
