Professional education has undergone several changes in its implementation in Brazilian educational institutions until the current format and destination. These institutions, today all federal, are part of the Federal Professional Education Network, Science and Technology (RFEPCT). The RFEPCT is composed by federal institutions, federal centers, technical schools linked to federal universities, the technological university and the College Pedro II. These are multicampi institutions that offer technical courses, higher technology, undergraduate, master's and doctorate in various formats (integrated, concurrent, bachelor, degrees, classroom, distance education, masters and doctorates). The formats, the predominant areas of activity and the levels of education offered in each institution linked to RFEPCT can give a direction regarding the publications typology used to inform the knowledge generated by the researches performed in these institutions. Information via popular science publications aiming the public in general, or scientific journals directed to specialists in certain areas. This study was fulfilled in some institutions of RFEPCT among which the Federal Center of Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET / MG), the Federal Center of Technological Education Celso Suckow da Fonseca (CEFET / RJ), the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR), the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ), the Federal Fluminense Institute (IFF) and the College Pedro II. The initial motivation raised from the following problem: Do the different levels of educational institutions of RFEPCT have access to the knowledge generated internally, even if by different and adapted publications for each type of audience? As a general objective of the research, it seeks to map the serial production of the institutions. The collected data were analyzed according to the following specific objectives: Identify the serial production for scientific communication and scientific dissemination, as well as the views of those involved in series production. It also describes the state of art of each publication regarding: its publishing process (tools, format, actors and their profile); the period and frequency of these publication; and its assessment by Qualis.
