Abstract

There is an increasing incentive to the participation of advisees in the advisors' production. Coauthoring an scientific production or, specially, to be the first author of this production is considered a very important activity in the education of undergraduate and, mainly, of graduate students. This paper analyses the advisees participation in the production of their advisors, correlating information about advisory, production and first authors in a Computer Science case study. Moreover, the coauthorship networks composed of advisors and advisees were constructed and evaluated comparing network metrics with productivity and advisory metrics.

Keywords: Scientific Production, Computer Science, Academic Orientation
