Information and Communication in Ciência & Saúde Coletiva

This article aims to characterize the articles published in the Information and Communication section of the Journal Ciência & Saúde Coletiva over the last decade. The corpus for analysis was defined using records provided by the ScholarOne Manuscripts platform and consists of 28 articles. After systematizing quantitative variables, reading the articles identified themes and specific theoretical-methodological approaches. The analysis privileged disciplinary intersections within Collective Health. The results include topics with a long history of problematization and others typical of today. As the dramatic experience of the COVID-19 pandemic revealed, the intersection of the areas brought together in this section is growing. This intersection points to the complex social, cultural, political, economic and health challenges, as well as to the advancement of interdisciplinary lato sensu and stricto sensu postgraduate programs in Collective Health We conclude that this growth affirms the potential of Health Information and Communication and points to the increase of its presence in Ciência & Saúde Coletiva.
