Cooperation network between researchers of the XIX ENANPUR

Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the existence of a network of scientific collaboration between the researchers participating in the thematic sessions of the XIX ENANPUR; as well as analyzing the form of organization and cooperation for the development of scientific production among the actors involved. For that, a descriptive study, of a quantitative nature, was developed, using analysis techniques of social networks of cooperation. The data obtained were tabulated in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and exported to the UCINET 6.0 software. In the researched edition, 449 articles were published in the twelve thematic sessions of the event, which involved the participation of 935 researchers. Most of the authors developed the articles through scientific collaboration, it was observed that the cooperation network of the authors presents low density and decentralized. The authors are linked to 137 institutions, 41 of which acted in isolation. Thus, with regard to the collaboration network, taking into account the institutions to which the authors are linked, a low-density and decentralized network was observed, with the institution with the highest intermediation rate being the University of São Paulo (USP).
