Introduction: Studies about the characteristics of the scientific production of a field of knowledge are important because they provide an overview of the past and present trends within a determined area of knowledge and thus highlight the boundaries that remain to be crossed as a guideline for future research. Aims: Our aim was to analyze the international scientific literature relating to stuttering published between 2005 and 2010 in order to identify current trends in reporting progress towards understanding and management of this complex speech disorder. Method: Our approach involved the selection and analysis of online, peer reviewed publications. We examined the publication frequency over yearly intervals and organized the data to highlight the following characteristics: publication period; number of publications per period; the theme addressed; the methodological procedure used, the epistemological affiliation of contributor(s), and the age range of the subjects studied. Results: A total of 339 articles from 76 international journals were analyzed. Prior to 2005 the average number of publications per year was 49(14,3%). However, we identified a total of 72(21,22%) publications in 2010. The Journal of Fluency Disorders, which is specialized in stuttering, was the most frequent contributor (94; 27,73%) in the studied interval. Next, was the Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research (42; 12,39%), followed by the International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders (29;8,55%). Two themes stood out: Characteristics of Stuttering, with 150(44,25%) articles, and Treatment of Stuttering, with 106(31,27%) articles. The research method most used was Survey (157;46,31%), followed by Experiment (118;34,8%). The majority of research featured the Positivist (324;95,57%) paradigm. The age group most studied was adult (174;45,31%), followed by children (120;31,25%).Conclusion: The analysis of the international scientific production about stuttering presented a discreet growth which, from an epistemological perspective, is predominantly within the positivistic science paradigm. Due to the presence of a lesser number of studies in the phenomenological and historical dialectic features; the fact that the positivistic feature starts to present studies that actually quantify qualitative data perceiving stuttering as a multifactorial phenomenon; the fact that the same aspects were treated either as characteristic or as cause of stuttering; we conclude that stuttering is a complex theme which represents a challenge to researchers, pointing the need of searching through new epistemological paradigms in order to unveil it. Our findings suggested there is need for more research on stuttering for preventive health and wellness promotion, as well as to use the clinical case study as method of investigation, and also to focus on adolescents. These aspects may direct decisions about further research on stuttering |
