However, it is not evident the use of specialized information systems for support this modality of work. In this context , the present research has as objective analyze which is the effective use of information systems, appropriated to support to the collaborative work, by research groups for the accomplishment of its works in a collaborative way. As foundation to above-mentioned analysis, firstly attempts to present the concepts of collaborative work, research groups and Computer Supported Collaborative Work, that show basic for the best understanding of the virtues, deficiencies and implications that result of the use of such systems. As second stage of this work, attempting to collect enough information for the construction of the inferences that constructed its conclusions, questionnaires to the leaders of the registered research groups in the Directory of Groups of Research in Brazil of the Lattes Platform of CNPq were applied. / Os computadores e a Internet nas universidades e organismos de pesquisa t?m se mostrado um elemento com potencial para a dinamiza??o da constru??o, uso e dissemina??o da informa??o para o trabalho colaborativo dos grupos de pesquisa. Por?m, n?o ? evidente o uso de sistemas de informa??o especializados para apoiar essa modalidade de trabalho. Nesse cen?rio, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar qual ? a efetiva utiliza??o de sistemas de informa??o, pr?prios para o apoio ao trabalho colaborativo, por grupos de pesquisa para a realiza??o de seus trabalhos de forma colaborativa. Como alicerce ? analise supracitada, busca-se primeiramente apresentar os conceitos de trabalho colaborativo, grupos de pesquisa e Computer Supported Collaborative Work, que se mostram fundamentais para a melhor compreens?o das virtudes, defici?ncias e implica??es que resultam do uso de tais sistemas. Como segunda etapa deste trabalho, buscando coletar informa??es suficientes para a constru??o das infer?ncias que fomentaram suas conclus?es, foram aplicados question?rios aos l?deres dos grupos de pesquisa cadastrados no Diret?rio de Grupos de Pesquisa no Brasil da Plataforma Lattes do CNPq.
