This work is mainly aimed at the detection, visualization and description of the scientific collaboration patterns in the Nursing field in Latin America as a response to the lack of evidence on the implications of collaboration and its effects on the scientific influence in the Nursing field.For this purpose, a retrospective quantitative analysis was conducted by including all the publications classified under the code 2900 in All Science Journal Classification Codes of Scopus, corresponding to the field of General Nursing during 2005-2020. A total of 40 countries and 362,354 unique publications were analyzed, although the main subset herein consists of 18,371 unique publications authored by Latin-American institutions.World proportion of Latin-American publications in Nursing is higher than all the publications in the region. This increase is especially remarkable in the latest year of the studied period, which may result from the pro-gressive increase in the numbers of nursing schools, the diversity in the graduate and specialization programs, the creation of scientific societies, and the many conferences carried out recently on Nursing.

Objective: The present work sought to identify researchers and patterns of collaboration in scientific production associated with the participation of local authorities in the provision of public sports policies in Brazil and Portugal. Methodology/ Approach: The methodological procedure involved systematic review and bibliometric analysis of the researchers’ production. Finally, we analyze the relationships between the actors and the collaboration networks. To locate the works, we use the Portal Periodicos Capes, which provides different databases with texts published by the main editors in the world, distributed in all areas of knowledge. Collaboration networks were observed via co-authorships. Originality/ Relevance: Local authorities in Brazil and Portugal have promoted important public sports policies. However, the analysis of this production, mainly comparatively between the two countries, has not yet been carried out. Main Results It is noticeable the effort in the consolidation of the agenda through the increase of work along the time, the groups of researchers involved and the number of inter-institutional and international partnerships. However, the existence of betweenness centrality makes the consolidation of this research agenda difficult.. Theoretical/ Methodological contributions: It promotes the discussion of the relationship between scientific production in the area of municipal public policies in Brazil and Portugal and the construction of collaboration networks.

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.
