In the context of mediation of reading, the importance of access to information and reading by citizens is recognized, as well as the role assumed by the information services in the construction of reading skills and in the development of citizenship, especially libraries. Because of the relevance of mediation of reading, the objective is to discover the attention that Portuguese scholars have given to this subject, specifically to verify if, in the Portuguese scientific production, there is a proportional interest to the relevance of the practices (implicit and explicitly) of mediation of reading and whether it is possible to detect trends in this area. For this, a case study is carried out in the portal RCAAP - Scientific Repositories of Open Access of Portugal. The results show some interest in the subject, but especially in Education. The scientific contents are irregularly produced over the years, with no emphasis on specific institutions or authors and are present mainly in master's dissertations. It is concluded that the Portuguese scientific production, especially of Information Science, does not seem to be significantly interested in the subject of mediation of reading as would be supposed, and that there are no clear trends in this area.
