Science in a global society: opportunities and disparities 

Science is acknowledged as an increasingly collaborative and international activity. However, little is known about how labor is distributed and rewarded in a global scientific system. To examine this, the talk will focus on two underlying mechanisms for knowledge exchange: collaboration and mobility. We will discuss the ways in which these mechanisms facilitate the exchange of knowledge, but also how this creates inequality in the global system both for personnel (e.g., by gender, leadership) and in topic (e.g., regional interests and specialization). We will also examine the ways in which collaboration and mobility lead to scientific rewards (i.e., citations) for countries and for individual scholars. A nuanced understanding of these relationships is necessary to inform robust science policy for a global scientific world.

Network Enabled Research: Breaking it down and building it back up

 
We talk about "research networks" for projects. Our measures of research quality are often based on networks of citations. Social media networks are increasingly important in internal and external communications of research. Usually we think about these things as external technologies that have affected how we do things. Social technologies of funding intended to drive collaboration, data collection technologies that let us think about not just one link between articles but the characteristics of the whole system, communications technologies with new possibilities. But to think of these as external effects is to miss the fact that the networks have always been there. What has changed is their density and interconnection. We can actually turn the question around. Rather than ask what impact social media networks have had on research, we should ask what changes were occurring that required something like social media to be developed? For science to continue growing, it needs more complex and larger networks to be formed. What are the characteristics of systems that support that? How do we design science as networks so that it can continue to grow?

How, when and what does the Twittersphere tweet about science?


Tweets linking to scholarly publications have been heralded as both early indicators of citations as well as measures of societal impact. Enjoying high uptake by the general public and considerable coverage of scientific journal articles, scholarly Twitter metrics are among the most popular altmetrics. Even though the Twittersphere provides rich networked data of follower-followee relationships, tweets, hashtags, geolocation and co-tweeted publications, altmetric indicators are mostly reduced to plain numbers without distinguishing between various levels of user types and engagement. Based on an analysis of 24 million tweets linking to scholarly documents, the talk will address how, when, and by whom scientific articles are discussed on Twitter to provide some insight into the meaning of Twitter-based altmetrics. Social network analyses of tweet and user networks will demonstrate how current metrics can be enriched to allow a deeper understanding of how scientific publications are diffused on Twitter.

Ciência em rede nos países periféricos. 

 Dr. Jesus Mena Chalco, Universidade Federal do ABC

Uma década de colaboração acadêmica dos líderes em pesquisa no Brasil.

Nesta palestra serão apresentadas as principais características das redes de coautoria acadêmica entre todos os doutores com atuação profissional na Grande Área de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas (Administração, Arquitetura e urbanismo, Ciência da Informação, Comunicação, Demografia Desenho industrial, Direito, Economia, Economia doméstica, Museologia, Planejamento urbano e regional, Serviço social, e Turismo).

A visão temporal corresponde ao período dos últimos 30 anos (1988-2017), sendo que todas as informações bibliográficas foram extraídas dos mais de 45 mil currículos da Plataforma Lattes associados a doutores atuantes nesta grande área.
Acreditamos que os padrões de colaboração identificados nas áreas que compõem a grande área de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas possam ser insumos importantes para estudo, caracterização e análise da formação de redes de pesquisadores.

Programas de pós-graduação em rede

Programas de pós-graduação em rede podem representar alternativas interessantes para a solução de diferentes necessidades no Sistema Nacional de Pós-Graduação. Serão apresentadas as principais características desses programas bem como sua produção científica, tecnológica e artística no período de 2013-2016. Complementarmente vamos apresentar para cada uma das áreas de avaliação do SNPG a proporção de artigos científicos desenvolvidos em cooperação com pesquisadores de outros programas ou instituições, o número mediano e o número máximo de colaboradores externos nesses artigos. Desse modo podemos ter uma ideia do perfil de cooperação existente nas diferentes áreas de conhecimento.
