BackgroundRecent reviews have demonstrated an increase in the number of papers on ethnobiology in Latin America. Among factors that have influenced this increase are the biological and cultural diversity of these countries and the general scientific situation in some countries. This study aims to assess the panorama of ethnobiological research in Latin America by analyzing its evolution, trends, and future prospects.MethodsTo conduct this study, we searched for papers in the Scopus (http://www.scopus.com) and Web of Science (http://www.isiknowledge.com) databases. The search was performed using combinations of keywords and the name of each Latin American country. The following countries were included in this study: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela, and Uruguay.Results and conclusionsAccording to our inclusion criteria, 679 ethnobiological studies conducted in Latin America were found for the period between 1963 and 2012. Of these studies, 289 (41%) were conducted in Brazil, 153 in Mexico (22%), 61 in Peru (9%), 58 in Argentina (8%), 45 in Bolivia (6%), and 97 (14%) in other Latin American countries. The increased number of publications related to this area of knowledge in recent years demonstrates the remarkable growth of ethnobiology as a science. Ethnobiological research may be stimulated by an increase in the number of scientific events and journals for study dissemination and by the creation of undergraduate courses and graduate programs to train ethnoscientists who will produce high-quality studies, especially in certain countries.

“…The existence of a cluster between São Paulo and Paraná state universities was observed in articles published between 1986 and 2006 in the area of Bioprospecting [19]. The same study showed EMBRAPA and the federal universities of Lavras and Viçosa to appear isolated in the cluster analysis.…”

This is an investigation of Brazilian articles indexed by SCI between 2004 and 2006with the purpose of understanding the scientifi c collaboration in the Brazilian community. The 49,046 articles that have been examined show that national scientifi c output increased every year during the period and that articles were published in a great number of journals, 15.7% of which were national publications. The most productive areas are Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Clinical and Experimental Medicine II. Authors from several institutions were identifi ed, which indicates Brazil has yet to establish a consolidated pattern of publication, since several of the institutions contributed only one article (59.1%). Co-publication between individuals increased in the period, representing about 96% of national output. The mean number of authors per article is 6.3. Scientifi c output is concentrated in few institutions, mostly public universities located in specifi c regions. The mean number of institutions per article is 2.4, and looking into the most productive institutions, the practice of intra-institutional co-publication stood out. When relative collaboration indices and multivariate analysis were applied, regional groups proved to be formed. International co-publication decreased in percentage in the period, representing 30.3% of the total articles. The USA, France, the United Kingdom and Germany are the biggest partners in terms of articles; however, relative indices reveal the USA and Argentina are the main partners. Motivation for international collaboration seems to follow historical, linguistic and geographical proximity reasons.

“…A negociação entre os pesquisadores sobre quem vai assinar determinado artigo, além de variar entre as áreas, reflete o contexto histórico e social em que se localizam os colaboradores (LIMA; VELHO;FARIA, 2007). Nas palavras de Luukkonen, Persson e Sivertsen (1992, p. 103, tradução nossa):…”

A colaboração vem despertando interesse da comunidade científica há alguns anos e muitos estudos foram realizados para conhecer a evolução do fenômeno e sua relação com a ciência e sua comunicação. Apresenta uma revisão dos aspectos teóricos e conceituais da co-autoria e da colaboração científica na literatura nacional e internacional, buscando definir esta prática sob diferentes perspectivas e indicando algumas das motivações que levam à colaboração.
