Abstract
It is almost a commonplace to note that we now live in the information age. This fact gives information a central role, being a natural consequence the need to look more objectively to the information value. In an attempt to contribute to this response, at least from a specific application area, this article focuses on the use of scientific information by researchers and their process of valuation. The main objective of the research is to analyze models and propose amendments, or even a new model with a view to a better perception of the value of information.
