Scientific research and the digital brain: managing information and changing the way we think

This paper addresses the impact of digital support on the management and organization of information, with the aim of demonstrating its usefulness in connecting data during collection and systematization processes in scientific research. The research methodology involves practical simulation, correlating content obtained from a systematic literature review with the functionalities of the Obsidian 1.3.5 software. The results highlighted the advantage of a more intuitive visualization of the interconnection between information and the predominant identification of significant key topics, allowing a clear understanding of the main areas of focus in the articles analyzed. The mapping also made it possible to group themes by their affinity, revealing thematic clusters and facilitating the identification of recurring patterns. In this sense, the study emphasizes the benefits for researchers of incorporating digital resources into the process of development of scientific productions.
