- © 2020 IEEE.The researchers' career has several factors that influence its development. Researchers continually have to face particular dilemmas: publishing in conferences or journals, choosing between a research topic or another, deciding whether to work individually or collaboratively and if so, if it will be an international collaboration or not; the publications made by the researcher over time evidence all these decisions. This work aims to model researchers' careers in terms of publication data (activities) to obtain insights about frequent paths researchers make along time. Our methodology involves generating an event log created by publication data extracted from a bibliometric database to discover a process structure representing researchers' long-term strategies. Our results show that it is possible to get insights about frequent paths in a process map.
