Abstract

Given the importance of INCT for Cancer Control and the existence of several groups working on the same theme, it is important that they collaborate with each other. For this, the BRINCA project was created and it was conducted a series of analyzes of the scientific networks of this INCT. These analyzes were conducted using Lattes and PubMed data mining. The analyzes served to coordinate this INCT to take actions to understand and improve scientific collaborations.

Keywords: Time Analysis, Social Network Analysis, Medical Community
