A produção científica nos anais do encontro nacional de engenharia de produção: um levantamento de métodos e tipos de pesquisa

This paper analyses the research approaches and methods used in the papers of the proceedings of the 1996, 1997 and 1998 ENEGEP's. Starting from a typology developed by Filippini (1997), the research methods used were classified and compared with the results found by Filippini in the proceedings of the DSI conference. The main conclusions point toward the need of deeper methodological concern and better use of research methodos and to more empirical-based research.
