BIBLIOMETRIC AND SCIENTOMETRIC INVESTIGATIONS IN TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING STUDIES: NUMBERS FROM BRAZIL AND OTHER COUNTRIES

This book is the result of years of collaboration among professors and students of the Research Group GETTEC - Group for Studies and Research in Translation, Technologies, Teaching and Scientometrics, linked to the Graduate Program in Linguistics of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The activities of GETTEC started in 2018 and, immediately, its first members, involved in investigations inserted in different subfields of Translation and Interpreting Studies, such as translation teaching, translation and interpreting technologies, audiovisual translation, machine translation, machine interpreting, interpreting, among others, realized that basing their studies on a single list of authors would not provide them with a comprehensive view of Translation or Interpreting Studies, nor would it show them the evolution of these fields. Seeking to trace the course of scientific shifts in Translation and Interpreting Studies, GETTEC's members decided to implement bibliometric and scientometric analyses, more specifically in their subfields of study, so that they could better know their trends and the most representative types of methodologies used in them.
