Abstract


This paper describes the bases for a study of the dynamics of co - authoring relationships among researchers associated to the postgraduate programs in Computer Science evaluated by CAPES in the 2007-2009 triennium. In all, 889 permanent researchers were identified in the 45 postgraduate programs evaluated. A robust heuristic of entity resolution was developed, allowing the identification of the co-authorship relationships among researchers, with a hit rate higher than 96%. By observing the co-authorship networks, it is possible to observe interesting phenomena of the dynamics of Brazilian research, especially related to the increase in joint production between and within postgraduate programs.
