Abstract
This paper discusses the Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a method
to be broadly applied in researches in the Information Science (IS)
field. This science is, normally, presented as an interdisciplinary
filed, but the research lines conducted in Brazil have different
relationship with other disciplines, and consequently dissimilar
interdisciplinary characteristics. The analysis of the co-authorship
network of the professors of the PPGCI/UFMG emphasizes both, the
strength of the methodology and the characteristics of the collaboration
in the IS. The article gives an overview of the theoretical basis
of the SNA, and presents studies about subjects related to the Information
Science field that are done applying SNA, mainly the co-authorship
network analysis. Finally, the methodological approach of this research
and the main results are presented
