“…Thus, one collaboration analysis between China and other countries demonstrated that while the growth of the number of publications increases among the countries of high economic level, the impact of these publications does not increase in the same way (He, 2009). More comprehensive reports suggest there is a system that favors countries with wider science resources (Leydesdorff & Wagner, 2008). On the other hand, contexts such as participating institutions, area of expertise, and countries of the principal authors also influence the impact of products (Arencibia Jorge & de Moya Anegón, 2008;Cervi, Galante, & Oliveira, 2013;García-Martínez, Guerrero-Bote, HassanMontero, & Moya-Anegón, 2009;Lovón Canchumani, Leta, & Figueiredo, 2013).…”

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.

“…Como práctica social y derivado de la interacción interpersonal entre los autores se establecen redes de coautoría complejas que evolucionan, cuyo estudio es un acercamiento a la organización social y patrones de comportamiento de los científicos (Crane, 1969;Barabasi, 2002;Glänzel y Schubert, 2004;Tomassini y Leslie, 2007;Leydesdorff, 2008).…”

Resumen: En un contexto en que hay gran interés en intensificar la colaboración internacional dentro de la práctica científica, este trabajo plantea un acercamiento sobre cómo medir y visualizar el trabajo colaborativo internacional a nivel institucional. Como caso de estudio consideramos las tres áreas del Subsistema de Investigación Científica de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. La información se obtuvo de la base de datos Web of Science, Core Collection y consideramos la producción con participación de instituciones extranjeras (coautoría), en el periodo 1981 a 2013. Para medir la colaboración internacional construimos un índice con base en el número de colaboraciones por institución, en que dichos vínculos se ponderaron a partir de su consistencia durante el periodo considerado. Otro índice toma en cuenta las instituciones extranjeras y países de origen. Visualizamos las redes con Pajek.Palabras clave: redes académicas; colaboración internacional; UNAM; práctica científica. The local and the global of scientific collaboration: what does it mean and how to visualize and measure it?Abstract: In a context in which there is great interest in intensifying international collaboration within scientific practice, this paper presents an approach on how to measure and visualize international collaborative work at the institutional level. As a case study, the three areas in scientific research of the National Autonomous University of Mexico were considered. The information was obtained from the Web of Science database, Core Collection, and all production made with participation of foreign institutions (co-authorship) from 1981 until 2013 was also considered. In order of measuring the international collaboration, we built an index based on the number of collaborations per institution, weighting these links on the base of their consistency during the considered period. A second index was calculated taking into account foreign institutions and countries of origin. Visualizations were made with Pajek.

“…To see the international and the institutional collaboration of Digital Humanities, the same data sets are combined and an analysis is run with the tools developed by Loet Leydesdorff [16]. The resulting networks clearly captures the main players in the field: UK and USA as the main collaborators, followed by the usual suspects in Europe: Holland, Finland, Sweden, France, Germany.…”

Analysing an Academic Field through the Lenses of Internet Science: Digital Humanities as a Virtual Community

Abstract. Digital Humanities (DH) has been depicted as an innovative engine for humanities, as a challenge for Data Science, and as an area where libraries, archives and providers of e-research infrastructures join forces with research pioneers. However DH is defined, one thing is certain: DH is a new community which manifests and identifies itself via the Internet and social media. In this paper we propose to describe DH as a virtual community (VC), and discuss the implications of such an epistemic approach. We start with a (re)inspection of the scholarly discourse about VCs, and the analytic frameworks which have been applied to study them. We discuss the aspects that are highlighted by taking such a stance, and use the guidelines proposed by the FP7 European Network of Excellence in Internet Science (EINS) in our investigation.
