“…As distance decreases, there may be a greater likelihood that two countries share the same forms of social capital, especially in terms of language fluency. However, Guzmán-Valenzuela et al (2022) show that in Latin America the proportion of co-publications is higher among scholars within the same country. At the same time, they note that the level of collaboration between scholars based in two or more different Latin American countries is lower than that between Latin-America-based scholars and colleagues outside this sub-continent.…”

“…A more specific example of how colonial ties inform collaboration is provided by Guzmán-Valenzuela et al (2022) who found that collaboration among social scientists in Latin America and Spain is at especially high levels and has grown over time. A common language (Spanish) is thus important in this case.…”

“…A common language (Spanish) is thus important in this case. Latin American scholars who are eager to enhance their international reputation are likely to seek publication partners among European colleagues who speak the same language (Guzmán-Valenzuela et al, 2022).…”

Research collaboration has become a major research topic in the social sciences. While this literature has mainly focused on collaborative dynamics in the Global North, more recent studies have examined these dynamics within the Global South. This article expands the scope of analysis by comparing the level of co-publications by Global South-based scholars with Global South-based colleagues and that between academics at Global South institutions and researchers in Global North universities. It shows that academic partnerships within the Global South are less common than instances of collaboration between the Global South and Global North. The relatively weak Global South collaborative dynamics are at odds with most Global South leaders’ encouragement of partnerships between scholars within the South. The article also demonstrates that collaboration seems to be largely informed by linguistic commonality and historical (colonial) relations of dependency. Contrary to expectations that US-based academics would be the primary partners for Global South academics due to US hegemony, the latter are more likely to collaborate with colleagues in European countries, more specifically countries that colonised their countries.

“…However, the socioeconomic indicators showed do not seem to have a clear influence on those collaboration patterns and are unable to detect national strategies leading to enhance internationalization. Other authors suggest that national and institutional policies for hiring and promoting scientists, focused on personal reward systems based on productivity and visibility in international sources influence the scientist's behavior ( Guzman-Valenzuela et al., 2022 ).…”

“…This trend is followed by the USA (17 articles) and Brazil (9 articles). In the case of the USA, studies (Guzmán-Valenzuela et al, 2023 show that, in the social sciences, there is a significant level of collaboration between authors affiliated to a Latin American university and to a university in the USA.…”

Critical thinking (CT) in higher education (HE) has been widely investigated in Western countries. Most of the research on CT has conceived it as a higher order thinking skill with implications for learning processes. CT has also been connected with critical pedagogies, an approach that seems particularly attuned with the Latin American region. Through a systematic literature review, this article maps the scholarship on CT in HE in Latin America (LATAM). Findings point to a local character of the research on CT that heavily relies on cognitive psychology traditions. It is proposed that the scholarship on CT in LATAM is characterised by an epistemic disjuncture that favours theories and methodologies produced in the Global North overshadowing well-recognised traditions of critical pedagogies in the region. We conclude that research on CT in the region is missing an opportunity to develop powerful features that are especially fitting for LATAM’s geo-historic context.
