“…It stands out the production and collaboration in psychology in North America, and highlights the high levels of participation within (inbred) versus an interest in some countries (Asia) to cooperate, for different reasons, with the United States of America, due to the prestige derived from this collaboration (Porac et al, 2004). Additionally and related to the cooperation interest with economic powers of North America, would be related explanations that favor scientific collaboration and associates it with economic power between countries.…”

“…They additionally cite the increase of economic incentive for collaborative work (García-Martínez, Guerrero-Bote, & Moya-Anegón, 2012;Kliegl & Bates, 2010;Romero-Torres, Acosta-Moreno, & TejadaGómez, 2013). It is thus clear that increasing opportunities for collaboration may increase incentives for collaboration, and thus increase scientific output (Easterbrook, 1993;Johnson, 2009;Porac et al, 2004).…”

The phenomenon of collaboration is an increasing trend in many fields of science, including that of psychology. In Iberoamerican psychology, collaboration occurs on a local and international level. The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of collaboration in Iberoamerica, using as a baseline the level of worldwide collaboration in psychology in 2012. We collected data from the Scopus database and analyzed it by cluster distribution. Analysis of the sample found within-country collaboration prominent among Iberoamerican psychologists. Findings indicated that in Iberoamerica there is significantly less global collaboration than in other regions, although Iberoamerican scientists are receptive to the idea and acknowledge its potential. Keywords: Scientific production, psychology, collaboration, Iberoamerica Resumo O fenômeno da colaboração é uma tendência em crescimento em muitos campos da ciência, incluindo a psicologia. Na psicologia ibero-americana a colaboração vem ocorrendo em nível regional e internacional. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar níveis de colaboração em Ibero-América, usando como linha de base o nível de colaboração mundial em psicologia nos anos de 2012. Os dados foram coletados da base Scopus e analisado pela distribuição de dados segundo seu grau de agrupamento (cluster). A análise mostrou que a colaboração entre ibero-americanos é maior dentro dos respectivos países e menor em nível global. Mesmo assim, destaque-se que cientistas ibero-americanos são receptivos a ideia de internacionalização e reconheçam seu potencial.

“…Also, the likelihood that a pair of scientists will start collaborating depends on the number of common collaborators they have [14]. Future cooperation will be easier for scientists who come from the networks with similar views that overlap intellectually, although this would partly limit the breadth of knowledge within the network [18]. DeFazio et al [17] analysed the impact of funding on the relationships within the collaborative networks and scientific productivity, on a sample of 296 researchers who participated in research networks within the EU funded projects from the Fourth Framework Programme.…”

Scientific productivity is one of the engines of development in the 21 st century. The most common way of its measurement is through publication in peer-review articles. Current research indicates that there is a strong connection between country's development and its share in the world publication of scientific articles. Transition countries are still catching-up with the most developed countries in terms of scientific productivity, which is especially evident in Western Balkan countries. As one of the rare attempts to assess obstacles to scientific productivity in transition countries, this study investigates different factors and their effects to the scientific productivity. The obstacles are the results of the historical reasons, inadequate systems for advancement in the scientific community, and problems with the development and/or implementation of strategies for scientific development of the particular country. In addition, without efficient measurement of scientific productivity, it is hard to analyse its behaviour. Papers written by authors from transition countries are often published in local journals that are covered insufficiently by the Web of Science. Therefore, up-to-date systems for tracking scientific publications in transition countries are of the highest importance.

Esta investigação investigou o papel da percepção, seus condicionantes e seus efeitos na lógica da ação dos pesquisadores na formação de parcerias, no âmbito da rede subjacente ao Consórcio Brasileiro de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento do Café. Abalizado pela teoria institucional e pela teoria de redes, partiu-se da suposição de que a percepção dos agentes (sobre a sua posição/localização estrutural, os recursos disponíveis e a dinâmica de apropriação de recursos da rede) é significativa à medida que seria fator condicionante da estratégia de inserção dos pesquisadores na sua rede colaborativa. No estudo, recorreu-se: (a) à análise de conteúdo em entrevistas com pesquisadores; (b) à análise sociométrica de coautorias em artigos; (c) à análise sociométrica da escolha preferencial entre pesquisadores do café; (d) à análise multivariada de um banco de dados de subprojetos do Consórcio e de respostas a uma survey submetida aos responsáveis pelos subprojetos. Os resultados assinalam que o posicionamento estrutural do agente, ainda que relevante, não condiciona a percepção dos agentes e isso pode ter implicações nas suas estratégias de ação. Conjuminada a essa indicação, foi possível identificar um grupo de regularidades e lógicas de ação incidentes no conjunto de cientistas pesquisados. Seria nesse campo que o pesquisador praticaria a sua agência: onde monitora e percebe os recursos e as limitações da rede, se insere e aos colegas e mobiliza parcerias.
