With the documentary explosion and the multiple possibilities to access information provided by information and communication technologies, we see the proliferation of publications of all kinds, such as electronic journals, which facilitate access and dissemination of the research undertaken and allows greater flexibility in information retrieval. Due to the care undertaken by Brazilian funding agencies, such as the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (originally Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – CAPES) and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (originally Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico – CNPq), it is evident the role of scientific journals in the academic context as indicators performance both for the institutions and for the researchers. After all, it is they which make public the researches developed after proper peer review, ensuring value to the publicized contents. The purpose is, therefore, analyze the production of postgraduate studies in information science (CI), through the national electronic journals listed in the Capes Journal Portal and qualified at concepts from A1 to B2, to identify the current state of research in the area. After that, operational objectives are: (1) discuss the science, their relations and contextualization within contemporary society; (2) explore the academic production in the contemporaneity contemplating the prospects of electronic journals; (3) identify the most debated topics in CI, through the analysis of articles published from 2003 to 2013; (4) detect the topics of articles aiming to project thematic similarities and differences within the interdisciplinarity, including the identification of important issues and not covered. To achieve the objectives, in theoretical terms, discusses, initially, the science in contemporary society, following chapter about the foundations of CI and its relation to scientific communication, in which emphasize perspectives and interdisciplinary relationships and research lines of the area of knowledge focused. The fourth chapter evidences the scientific journals with emphasis on electronic context. The methodological approach (chapter five) covers the typology of search (bibliographic of nature descriptive / case study) in time that discusses the techniques of collecting and analyzing data. Among the results discussed (chapter six), it is impossible review them all, cited some items. Regarding the current research situation, it verifies that increase research in CI follows the expansion of the Graduate Programs in Information Science (originally Programas de Pós-Graduação em Ciências da Informação – PPGCI) and expands as found in electronic journals, the means to intensify scientific communication and ratify interdisciplinary relations. Thus, records 48 theme categories in CI. Among them, Management has the highest incidence (191 articles), as opposed to classes as Administration and Environment and Sustainability, both with only seven studies. The year 2012, among the analyzed period, is the highest production rate. The library science, in turn, it has the highest number of interdisciplinary relations. In the end, are the concluding remarks of the study and the list of bibliographic and electronic sources consulted in drawing up the text.
