Software engineering research in Brazil from the perspective of young researchers: a panorama of the last decade

摘要

Background After graduating and starting a career as a professor, a young researcher usually finds him/herself lost due to a huge amount of new obligations and opportunities. Choosing the best strategy to guide his/her career into a productive and successful end is not an easy task to everyone, leading sometimes to anxiety and frustration. Previous studies on this topic looked only at published papers as the main source of analysis, lacking an analysis from the researchers’ perspective. Such analysis would be able to identify relevant researchers in the field and which decision and actions they took along their careers.
