The study of Lattes platform allows addressing and analyzing Brazil researchers network which could be useful for defining politics to improve science, technology, and innovation. This work evaluated Lattes Platform coauthorship network. This network evolves over time, which means that new coauthorships will arise in future. Therefore, using link prediction methods in this network would help to identify growing knowledge areas in Brazil. The used technics were Spectral Evolution, wich is new in this context, Common Neighbors, Adamic-Adar and Jaccard. The main goal was to evaluate the link prediction accuracy with different methods at the coauthorship network of Lattes Platform. The Spectral Evolution was worse than the others. Adamic-Adar method presented the best result - 817 times better than the random link prediction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
