Redes sociais de coautoria: um estudo da dinâmica de desenvolvimento das interações a partir de múltiplos indicadores na área das Ciências da Comunicação

Abstract

The dynamic analysis of social networks is a fairly unexplored area in the field of Information Sciences, bringing the prospect of expanding the network structural studies to incorporate evolutionary and temporal aspects of how the network evolves. The article deals with a case in the area of Communication Sciences. Data were collected in the portal Univerciencia.org applying 10 indicators to be analyzed over a period of 15 years on a set of 9,864 journal articles produced by 9,587 researchers. The article shows how the network evolves fragmented and dependent on the action of local groups still disorganized among themselves.
