Abstract

Data that reflect the scientific production of researchers have an inestimable value for several applications. Several repositories index articles and make them available for consultation, such as DBLP, Research Gate, and Google Scholar. Although the data are available in several public repositories, this data's collection and local persistence can benefit specific applications. This article presents a proposal for a data collector from three public repositories: DBLP, Research Gate, and Google Scholar, and their subsequent persistence in a relational database. In addition, a visualization interface for the collected data is also presented.

Keywords: Crawlers, scientific production, data extraction
