Scientific collaboration and productivity in Sociology and Social Sciences graduate programs in Brazil
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.sidebar##
This article describes the evolution of social cohesion and scientific productivity in the field of Sociology and Social Sciences in Brazil through the networks of scientific co-authoring of professors working in graduate school for two three-year periods. The descriptive and explanatory study used résumés available in the Plataforma Lattes of CNPq and the Cadernos de Indicadores Capes as data sources. The co-authoring relationships were identified with the use of a data mining tool and the networks were analyzed with the aid of social networks analysis software. It can be concluded that the field has increased in size, social cohesion, and productivity and that graduate programs with a greater diversity of ties were more productive. The results contribute to the understanding of the inter-institutional interactions in the field, providing subsidies for the actors involved.
