Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as tendências das pesquisas sobre a Ergologia no Brasil publicadas no período de 1997 a 2019, considerando a natureza da publicação e o potencial de impacto das bases em que estão veiculadas. Estudos relacionados à saúde do trabalhador indicam a crescente influência da Ergologia na compreensão do mundo do trabalho, fato evidenciado em pesquisas bibliométricas anteriores, de menor abrangência e escopo das bases apuradas, razão pela qual se pretende cobrir lacunas e ampliar a análise com dados mais atualizados. Com o uso de descritores peculiares à Ergologia, foram realizados levantamentos nas bases Web of Science, Scopus e SciELO, em periódicos não indexados às bases citadas e em produções acadêmicas disponíveis no catálogo da Capes. Constatou-se a projeção do Brasil nos estudos sobre a Ergologia, sendo o Sudeste a região com maior concentração de autores e de volume de publicações. Contudo, a inter-relação entre pesquisadores tende a limitar-se às instituições em que atuam. Há prevalência de teses e dissertações em detrimento de artigos nas produções ligadas à Ergologia. As publicações apontam para a interdisciplinaridade — com predomínio da Saúde do Trabalhador, Educação, e Psicologia — e tendem a permanecer em veículos de menor relevância científica.

Abstract:
This article aims to analyze trends in research on Ergology in Brazil published1997 to 2019, considering the nature of the publication and the potential impact of the databases in which they are published. Studies related to worker\'s health indicate the growing influence of Ergology in the understanding of the world of work, a fact evidenced in previous bibliometric researches, with lower coverage and scope of the bases, which is why the intention is to cover gaps and expand the analysis with more up-to-date data. Using descriptors peculiar to Ergology, surveys were carried out in the Web of Science, Scopus and SciELO databases, in journals not indexed to the cited databases and in academic productions available in the Capes catalog. The projection of Brazil in studies on Ergology was found, with the Southeast being the region with the highest concentration of authors and volume of publications. However, the interrelationship between researchers tends to be limited to the institutions in which they work. There is a prevalence of theses and dissertations to the detriment of articles in productions related to Ergology. Publications point to interdisciplinarity — with a predominance of Occupational Health, Education, and Psychology — and tend to remain in vehicles of lesser scientific relevance.
