RESUMO

The present research, of exploratory nature, aims at verifying whether the Qualis base, once implemented, has led to the use of thejournals classified herein, especially the ones of A concept, published nationwide. For that aim, we have defined, as the object of study, Qualis journals in Psychology, and as the context, the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Psicologia da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas Psychology Post-Graduation Program). The universe we have researched composed of a sample of thesis and dissertations claimed between 1997-2002 and a population of mastering and doctorate people enrolled in the Program. The methodological procedures employed herein are the citation analysis and questionnaire application. The analysis of results has shown that a maximum grade does not necessarily lead to effective use. Therefore, it is concluded that consensus (pair evaluation) on which the base is laid does not reflect on the consensus of the segments (professors and alumni) at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas Psychology Post-Graduation Program, in the aforementioned period. The present investigation contributes to reflexion about the methodology used for qualifying journals as scientific assessment instrument for postgraduation programs, as well as it opens understanding possibilities to Qualis base from its use; that is necessarily integrated in the referencial knowledge set which is present in postgraduation formation
