The goal of this paper is to characterize the publication practices of the broad disciplinary areas of knowledge in Brazil during the 2000-2014 period. It was used the data of the National Council on Scientific and Technological Development on the scientific production of the Brazilian PhDs: national and international articles, books, book chapters and full papers in proceedings of scientific meetings. The analysis variables were defined, and their historical series were represented graphically. The series visualization allowed to identify the predominant communication channels: national articles, full papers in proceedings of scientific meetings and book chapters in Human Sciences, Applied Social Sciences and Linguistics, Letters and Arts; international articles in Exact and Earth Sciences, Agrarian, Biological and Health Sciences; full papers in proceedings of scientific meetings in Engineering. The existence of two hyper-areas was corroborated: Humanities (Applied Social Sciences, Human Sciences, Linguistics, Letters and Arts) and "hard" sciences (Engineering, Exact and Earth Sciences, Agrarian, Biological and Health Sciences). In the formers, there is a balance between the publication of articles, monographs and full papers in proceedings of scientific meetings, while articles show, predominantly, a national orientation. In the "hard" sciences the publication of articles predominates when compared with other types of documents and papers have, mainly, an international orientation. Changes in publishing practices of Agricultural and Health Sciences are verified, shifting from a predominantly national orientation in the production of articles to an equilibrium between national and international production. In "hard" sciences a decrease in the contribution of the full papers in proceedings of scientific meeting was also verified.
