Lattes is an unique and largest platform for academic curriculumns. There you can find information about the academic work of all Brazilian scholars. It includes institution of PhD, current employer, field of work, all publications metadata and more. It is an unique and reliable source of information for bibliometric studies.

The Brazilian scientific output published in journals: A study based on a large CV database. Journal of Informetrics

Package GetLattesData
is a wrap up of functions I’ve been using for accessing the dataset.
The package is available in CRAN:
install.packages('GetLattesData')
You can also install the development version from Github:
#install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('msperlin/GetLattesData')
See vignette for more examples.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
