Analysis of the structure of international scientific cooperation networks through bibliometric indicators

Citation levels and collaboration within library and information science

“…Gomez et al (1999) call this first attribute "collaborative rate," and in this current article, the second attribute is called "collaborative level." Collaborative levels can be measured in more than one way.…”

“…Possibly as a result of government policies, collaboration is increasing in science, albeit unevenly. For example, Gomez, Fernandez, and Sebastian (1999) found that over the 1991-1995 period the increase in Latin American international collaboration ranged from 27% (mathematics) to 86% (engineering and technology) and Glänzel (2002) found that over 1980-1998 for the Science Citation Index (SCI) the increase in collaboration, in general, ranged from 17% (mathematics) to 48% (biomedical research).…”

On the dynamics of national scientific systems

“…These developments also occurred within broader changes occurring at the global level. For example, there was a dramatic growth of international collaboration (Wagner and Leydesdorff 2005;Gómez et al 1999). The important change in collaboration culture in Slovenia is clearly indicated by break of the trend in time series of absolute number of published single authors and coauthored publications.…”

“…"The number of studies on scientific collaboration has been increasing in the last few decades since researchers, as well as science policy decision makers, have begun to recognize the applicability of these approaches for analytical monitoring of the developments of science (Yasuhiro and Yoshiko 2006)." Coauthorship networks are approached in different ways: some focus on aggregated levels of cooperation among institutions (Corley et al 2006;Kretschmer et al 2006) and countries (Gómez et al 1999) while others focus on the cooperation of individual researchers (Moody 2004). The latter evolved from the analysis of simple network characteristics (Newman 2004) to network modeling based on several approaches including the analysis of scale free random networks and the power law (Barabási et al 1999(Barabási et al , 2002, preferential attachment (Wagner and Leydesdorff 2005), approaches based on information diffusion (Lambiotte and Panzarasa 2009) and other aspects that contribute to the scientific understanding of collaboration (Kretschmer 1997(Kretschmer , 1999Kundra and Kretschmer 1999).…”

Redes de coautoría de investigación en salud pública en Santander

“…Dado que las publicaciones son reconocidas como elementos clave de la investigación exitosa (16), se decidió conocer las redes de los investigadores identificados usando como criterio la coautoría (17). Las publicaciones aparecidas entre enero de 2010 y diciembre de 2012 se buscaron en Medline, Scielo, Scienti de Colciencias y Google Académico.…”
