Abstract:	This study corcerns itself with the participation of Brazilian agricultural research workers in the scientific communication process. The basis for the delineation of the universe is the listing in the Guia Brasileiro de Pesquisa Agrícola em Andamento (Brazilian Directory of Ongoing Agricultural Research), 1977 edition, representing a total popu lation of 2084 research workers, from which a random sample of 300 individuals was obtained, stratified according to their academic degree of bachelor, master or doctor. Participation in the scientific communication process, which is the dependent variable of the study, was measured by means of a general index of exposition, use and production of scientific information. The data analysis was done considering these same aspects of communication, that is, the index of exposition use and production of scientific information. The independent variables of the study were, respectively, 1) academic degree; 2) professionalspeciali zation; 3) institutional stimulus; 4) training in scientific information; 5) information facility in the institution; 6) category of institution; 7) region of Brazil; 8) posi tion 'held in institution; 9) professional experience; and 10) age of research worker. The data processing was done electronically using the Chi-square to verify the relation ship between the participation indexes and the independent variables Analysis of the contingency tables indicated that the general index of exposition was related significantly to academic degree and professional specialization. The same occurred with the indexes of exposition and production of scientific information, which likewise was significantly related to professional experience and age of the research worker. The use of information index, in its crossing with the other independent variables was not significant except in the case of institutional stimulus, which variable was also significantly related to the general index of participation. As to the regional aspect, the only significant relationship discovered was to production of scientific information. The other analyses did not achieve the level of significance of 0.05% proposed by the study. Finally, the data indicates that the personal and direct contact methods among research workers is responsible for a substan tial part of the exchange within the Brazilian agricultural scientific community and that the scientific periodical stands out among the means used by the research worker to support his work.
