A method for the identification of collaboration in large scientific databases

Abstract

The analysis of scientific collaboration networks has contributed significantly to improve the understanding of the collaboration process between researchers. Additionally, it has helped to understand how scientific productions by researchers and research groups evolve. However, the identification of collaborations in large scientific databases is not a trivial task, given the high computational cost of the prevalent methods. This paper proposes a method for identifying collaborations in large scientific databases, namely, ISColl-Identification of Scientific Collaboration. Unlike methods that use techniques such as exhaustive comparisons of publication pairs, the proposed method produces satisfactory results with a low computational cost, thus providing an interesting alternative for the modelling and characterization of large scientific collaboration networks. To demonstrate the potential of the proposed technique, tests were conducted using scientific publications data registered in the Lattes Platform of CNPq, with the obtained results yielding excellent accuracy during the identification of scientific collaborations. Palavras-chave: Extraction and data integration. Information retrieval. Identification of collaboration. 1 Introdução The production and publication of scientific papers have increased considerably in recent years. The rapid proliferation of research publications on the Internet can be considered as the primary factor accelerating the distribution of this class of publications. Services such as digital libraries, social networks, websites and bibliographic repositories that act as a personal storehouse for an individual's scholarly or scientific productions are some examples of how the Internet has A method for the identification of collaboration in large scientific databases

A Geographic Analysis of the Interdisciplinary Collaborations in the Brazilian Scientific Community

“…In addition, the researchers' expertise are identified in terms of the eight major areas derived from the CNPq knowledge area classification scheme (de Siqueira et al, 2020). In order to identify researchers in different collaborations, we adopted a strategy proposed by Dias and Moita (2015), which generates a kind of collaboration identifier. This strategy first removes all special characters and stop words from the publication titles.…”

Uma Análise da Produção Técnica e de Colégios Invisíveis com Ênfase nas Patentes Brasileiras

“…No intuito de avaliar a colaboração na proposta das patentes, foi necessário caracterizar as redes de colaboração técnica. Para tanto, a estratégia idealizada por [6] foi aplicada aos títulos das patentes no intuito de identificar as colaborações técnicas. Como resultado, foram caracterizadas as redes considerando todas as patentes recuperadas.…”

Importância das Colaborações Interdisciplinares nas Redes de Coautoria Científica

“…Para construção e caracterização das redes necessárias ao nosso estudo, aplicamos a estratégia proposta por Dias & Moita [2015] para identificar as colaborações por comparação dos títulos das publicações encontradas nos currículos. Para fins das análises realizadas, foram consideradas apenas as coautorias identificadas a partir de artigos de periódicos, uma vez que este tipo de publicaçãoé o mais comum na maioria dasáreas de pesquisa.…”
