Scholars had been documenting the Brain Drain phenomenon producing scientific literature for more than 50 years. After three decades of slow but steady progress, literature about this concept has accelerated its progress and growth path, in line with the 9th sustainable development goal “Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation” Thus, the present article aims to define the current theoretical trends about the analysis of advanced intellectual human capital’s international migratory phenomenon. This study uses a scientometric methodology on a corpus of 1212 articles indexed to the JCR-WoS from Social Sciences. The period covered in the study is from 1965 to 2020. The paper looks to understand how researchers studied the brain drain concept over the last 55 years in various disciplines. The report covers 99 categories from the Journal Citation Report (JCR) index. Results show that there is a scientific research critical mass that is studying the brain drain phenomenon. The analysis shows thematic trends at the sources, discourses, and consolidates classic works and some novel authors. Those new scholars and theoretical trends lead to refocused analysis beyond countries with a high development level. Such movement constitutes a new challenge in this line of research toward studying the effects of the brain drain in the peripheral areas of knowledge production.

This paper aimed to identify the elements that describe the profile of scientific publications on credit cooperatives in the main national and international journals, performing a bibliometric analysis at Scopus from 2006 to 2018, including the terms “credit cooperatives”, “credit cooperatives” and “credit unions”. The main results show that the Brazilian scientific production indexed in Scopus is still incipient, with 24 published works, whose year of 2017 concentrated approximately 20.8% of this production (5). Most articles are classified in the area of “Business, Management and Accounting” and are predominantly produced by UFV and UFMG authors. In addition, it was identified that the network of authors is isolated, and there is no cooperation among the clusters.

For years, human resources management has been considered a relevant factor to improve the levels of performance and competitiveness of organizations. Therefore, it has increasingly captured the attention of researchers at a global level. This paper aims to analyze such context in Ibero-America from a bibliometric perspective – the construction of knowledge in the field of human resources management and organizational performance. With that purpose, articles published in the main collection of Web of Science between the years 2010-2020 are analyzed with the help of Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. The results show that Spanish, Brazilian, and Portuguese researchers are the most productive of the group, and that Brazilians are equally the most influential. Likewise, there is a low participation of Latin American authors in prestigious international journals, and little cooperation with the most prestigious universities worldwide. The paper concludes that, in general, when compared to global production, Ibero-American production is still marginal, pointing to a challenge for these authors, especially for Latin Americans. This is a pioneering study, the first attempting to characterize Ibero-American scientific production in the field of human resources management and organizational performance.

Background: Malaria is one of the infectious diseases of greatest interest to the scientific community and of greatest concern to international health authorities. Traditionally, the focus has been on Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes the most severe form of the disease in Africa. However, in the last twenty years, the Plasmodium vivax parasite, responsible for a large number of cases in Latin America, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, the Horn of Africa, and Oceania, has also generated enormous interest due, among other things, to the published evidence that it can cause severe malaria. Methods: In this paper, the international scientific publication on malaria and P. vivax has been analyzed using the Scopus database to try to define global trends in this field of study. Results: It has been shown that events such as the emergence of resistance to certain drugs can break a trend. The important role of non-malaria-endemic countries such as the USA or Switzerland in malaria research is also evident. Conclusions: International cooperation will be essential for the eradication of the disease. Moreover, in this sense, the general vision given by the bibliometric analysis of malaria caused by P. vivax is fundamental to paint the picture regarding the current situation and encourage international cooperation and control efforts.

Teaching and the profession are made up of peculiarities, becoming complex. This is a reflection of globalization, technological advances, bureaucracy and convergence of standards to international standards. Consequently, the facts arise from the responsibility of teaching-learning in the area of knowledge. This scenario of changes is the process of teaching-learning and, therefore, in the evaluation of learning. This document is the resource of the networks of interaks in the authors and the subjects researched with the evaluation of learning in Accounting Sciences. The bibliographical, bibliometric and sociometric research was carried out in order to show how the cooperation networks between the authors and previous work on the evaluation of learning. The results indicate that Professor Gilberto Jose Miranda is the most prolific author of the area, involved in the largest cooperation network. The thematic that added a greater number of studies was the evaluation of teaching-learning in the studies of concentration of evaluations of disciplines, by teachers and students. Of those who are superior to those of us, of those who are of right being exploited. This study quantifies the knowledge of the scientific thematic, going to their scientific, not that will be found to the profit, with the knowledge of their knowledge of IESs. Still, the work is a foundation for more research on the field of knowledge, with the influence of its extension, diffusion and socialization in the national scientific literature.

This paper analyzes the production of Brazilian geomorphology in four high impact journals between the years of 2016 and 2020, one national and three internationals. The objective was to trace the evolution of this production, as well as to verify the national and international cooperation networks created through these publications. The results showed a Brazilian production increase in national and, mostly, in international journals allowing greater participation in global scientific production compared to the previous five-year period. Further to the general number of publications, there was a repositioning of the federative units regarding international production. Sao Paulo, Parana, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais continue to be important, but deserve to be highlighted the states of Para and Rio Grande do Sul, which have doubled their production. Compared to the previous five-year period, it was found a cooperation increase between researchers from different institutions. The national and international cooperation networks showed that the most relevant institutions for production are precisely those with the highest number and diversity of collaborations. However, despite the development at the international level, Brazil’s percentage of contribution to the total of global production is still small. Therefore, the development of more technical-scientific cooperation relationships seems to be the most promising way to change this scenario.
