Abstract
This paper presents the scientific collaboration network among professors
of the Pos-graduation Centers in Information Science (IS) in Brazil.
Such collaboration is identified from the co-authorship in papers
from journals and scientific events. The main information source
is the database of the �RedeCI� project (in English: �Brazilian Information
Science Network�, www.redeci.netic.com.br). Such database comprises
papers published in IS journals or presented in the IS Congress in
Brazil, with some additional attributes for the professors (Pos graduation
Center and research area). The structure of co-authorship networks
was investigated at the level of professors by using all the papers
existing in the�RedeCI� project combining statistical analysis with
social network analysis (SNA). The atributes were used to complement
information obtained by the ARS and identifying the institutional
linkages behind the co-authorship network. The results show a poorly
connected network, with many partitions. The authors stress the benefits
brought out by the use of SNA and the relevance of database like
�RedeCI� projects
