Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Logística do Instituto Federal de Goiás - Campus Anápolis: estudo de caso sobre sua produção científica no período de 2010 a 2023.

Abstract

This study analyzed the scientific production carried out between 2010 and 2023 in the Higher Education Course in Logistics Technology at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás (IFG), Anápolis Campus. To this end, a mixed-methods research approach was employed, that is, both qualitative and quantitative. In parallel, this research, in terms of its nature, was classified as applied, exploratory, and descriptive with regard to its objectives. Furthermore, from the perspective of technical procedures, documentary research and case study were adopted. Thus, the field of study was the Federal Institute of Goiás – Anápolis Campus. Moreover, the sample consisted of scientific production in the area of Business Logistics, classified as non-probabilistic and by convenience. Data sources included the IFG Digital Repository (ReDI), the Unified Management System for Extension, Research, and Events (SUGEP), the Unified Public Administration System (SUAP), the Clarice Lispector Library of the IFG – Anápolis Campus, as well as the Lattes Platform. For data collection, a structured protocol was used, divided into two categories. After collection, the data were processed using Excel spreadsheets and a word processor. Data analysis was based on bibliometrics, supporting literature related to the research topic, and empirical studies. Subsequently, the results were presented in the form of text, tables, and graphs. These results revealed that the scientific production of the Higher Education Course in Logistics Technology (CSTL) is concentrated in areas such as reverse logistics, supply chain management, and performance indicators. Furthermore, the years with the highest academic output were 2013, 2014, and 2019, while 2020 recorded the lowest production, impacted by external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, student dropout directly impacted the number of academic works produced, highlighting the need for effective institutional strategies for student retention. In this context, it was concluded that the Higher Education Course in Logistics Technology (CSTL) not only drives the advancement of studies in business logistics in Brazil but also significantly contributes to the development of students' competencies in the field of scientific research. Therefore, this study is expected to generate relevant and up-to-date information, with the potential to foster debates in academic, scientific, and professional settings, as well as provide guidance for the creation of new research projects.
