Co-authorship network analysis of Mexican bibliometrics

Existing network of Mexican co-authorship in publications on metrics (bibliometrics, informetrics, scientometrics, patentometría, etc.) is analyzed, from the early 70s until December 2012. The social network analysis was done using the Ucinet 6.0 and Netdraw softwares. The analysis shows a highly ce...

Descrição
Resumo:Existing network of Mexican co-authorship in publications on metrics (bibliometrics, informetrics, scientometrics, patentometría, etc.) is analyzed, from the early 70s until December 2012. The social network analysis was done using the Ucinet 6.0 and Netdraw softwares. The analysis shows a highly centralized network. The overall network density indicates a low communication network density that makes effective use of one-fifth of the real bonds of total possible links between the authors of the network. The degree of centrality identifies eleven authors as structural components of the network of Mexican bibliometrics. The coefficient of the degree of proximity indicates that both the distance as the closeness are homogeneous. Regarding the degree of intermediation is found that there is a widespread network but the dominance of a small group of three authors. The geodesic distance identified a single author well connected to other authors also very well positioned in the network. No cliques nor n-cliques in the network of co-authorship of Mexican bibliometrics were identified
