Lo local y lo global de la colaboración científica: ¿qué significa, y cómo visualizarlo y medirlo?

Abstract

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.

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.

The Top 100 Most Cited Scientific Papers in the Public, Environmental & Occupational Health Category of Web of Science: A Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis

“…As indicated by Jung et al [ 42 ], in a context in which there is great interest in intensifying international collaboration within scientific practice, this paper proposes an approach on how to measure and visualize international collaborative work at the institutional level. The low collaboration observed between the different authors in our work contrasts with that found in studies such as by Zhu et al [ 1 ] or Yu et al [ 10 ].…”

Global research trends on cardiac troponin and physical activity among pediatric populations: a bibliometric analysis and science mapping study

“…As Jung et al ( 63 ) show, in a context where there is great interest in intensifying international collaboration within scientific practice, our work aims to present a way to measure and visualize international collaborative work at an institutional level. The remarkable collaboration among the different authors, as observed in our study, is in line with findings from studies such as those by Zhu et al ( 64 ) and Yu et al ( 49 ).…”

Análisis de la contribución científica Latinoamericana en la temática de los vehículos eléctricos

“…Respecto a la colaboración con países de otras regiones destacan las redes con Estados Unidos, España, China, Francia, entre otros. Estas redes son muy importe para los países latinoamericanos porque en muchos casos le permite acceder a recursos económicos y la transferencia de nuevos conocimientos (Jung, N. & Ruiz-León, A., 2018).…”
