For that, a bibliographic research was carried out by means of the survey of scientific articles published in national journals of the area of Information Science, using search terms: subject analysis and conceptual analysis. The analysis of the research corpus provided, among others, the identification of the theoretical referents in this universe and the current trends in the national literature of Information Science, which allowed to outline a panorama of the main challenges and future perspectives of research and development in subject analysis.
