The Brazilian Human-Computer Interaction community has increasingly conducted self-reflection research, analyzing its trajectory based on the publications of its main scientific forum, the Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC). In line with those works, the research reported here starts from an analysis of the full papers published at IHC, but extends its gaze beyond them, investigating how the research conducted by Brazilian HCI researchers has been published beyond the IHC borders. From the set of IHC full papers published from 1998 to 2015, we identified 29 prolific researchers. We extracted their Lattes CVs to analyze their publications in other venues. This paper discusses the main venues where these authors have published (either in HCI or in other areas), the types of publications, the similarity between authors, among other aspects that help us understand our community's profile a bit further.
