Abstract

The area of ​​Social Network Analysis (ARS) is a multidisciplinary area. Recently, we have witnessed the great insertion and contribution of the Computer Science community due to the growing number of social data available and the increased use of interaction tools. Despite this, there are still few quantitative records of this growth. The objective of this work is to show this movement in Brazilian scientific research, based on the Brazilian scientific community in the field of Computation. With this analysis it is possible to see the growth of ARS in Brazil, as well as the main researchers and the events recognized by the researchers of the areas.

Keywords: Social Network Analysis, Computer Science, Brazilian Scientific Community
