“…Ethnography has the advantage of generating a strong involvement in the field, yet it sometimes faces difficulties in retaining and disseminating the learnings obtained (Hammersley, 2006). Action research methodology, relying on participation, reflexivity, and the return of results (Sousa & Oliveira, 2018) can be used to overcome such limitations, thus enhancing further understanding.…”

This case study addresses the specific methodological and practical challenges faced in adapting a participatory movement group methodology to an online format. The case study reflects on a project that ran for 2 years and aimed to promote the empowerment of a group of vulnerable women through artistic participation. Although from different sociocultural backgrounds, these women all live in a deprived region and were or had been single mothers, a social situation that worldwide (still) faces variable prejudices and concrete obstacles. Veleda, the title of the project in question, is based on an ethnographic/participatory action research approach, anchoring the principles of emancipation through co-creation. In the context of the project, participants worked together with the technical team, all assuming responsibility for the process and the results. To operationalize this, the project used documental and applied theatrical dynamics. The pandemic context caused by SARS-Cov-2 brought unexpected restrictions, forcing Veleda to adapt to an online methodology. However, the project managed to develop all the expected outputs-two social and artistic research laboratories with two final public presentations, a theater play, and the launch of a reflection group. In fact, two additional outputs were developed during the process, both emerging from the online experience (e.g., quarantine notebook, poem-manifesto). In this case study, the focus is on the methodological turn of the project during the two main lockdown periods experienced in Portugal (Spring 2020 and Winter 2021). The transition was facilitated by the existence of a WhatsApp group created during the first confinement, which allowed the participative dimension to be maintained in a creative and fruitful way.

“…It is before this scenario that we can understand the centrality of the United States in the graph generated, mainly by its re-colonizing role in Brazil and Latin America (Dutta, Rastogi, 2016), through different economic policies in different spheres, as well as a strong interaction with the United Kingdom, both members of an oligopoly of scientific publishers that has been dominating the science market for more than a century (Larivière, Haustein, & Mongeon, 2015), directly affecting the spaces of visibility in scientific circulation (Sousa, Oliveira, 2018).…”

Since the BRICS Declaration in Cape Town in 2013, its five member countries have committed to cooperation programs in science, technology and innovation (STI), based on the five strategic thematic areas assigned to each signatory: climate change and mitigation of catastrophes (Brazil); water resources and pollution treatment (Russia); geospatial technology and its applications (India); new and renewable energy, and energy efficiency (China); and astronomy (South Africa). Five years after the Declaration and almost a decade after the First BRICS Summit, the evaluation of the strengthening of international cooperation among countries remains a challenge, due to their low presence in the large index databases commonly used for the collection of scientific data, such as Web of Science and Scopus. The proposal of this research is to carry out a study on international cooperation among the countries in the last five years through the Dimensions platform, based on the incidence of international co-authoring and co-financing of research agencies from the five countries, seeking to highlight the following points: the networks that consolidate themselves from the international cooperation among the BRICS countries, areas emerging in research with incidences of co-authorship, and how the research networks have been developed around the five strategic areas defined in the BRICS Cape Town Declaration. It aims to evaluate how the international cooperation of the BRICS bloc in strategic thematic areas has been growing, pointing to possible areas of strengthening of international partnerships that can be deployed through this study.
