LEITE, Denise Balarine Cavalheiro; CAREGNATO, Célia Elizabeth  y  MIORANDO, Bernardo Sfredo. Multiplying effects of research collaboration networks. An international study. Avaliação [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.1, pp.263-286. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1414-40772018000100014.

In all areas of knowledge, research products are being noticed in the publications of researchers working on research networks. The multiplying effects of networks are seen as one of the benefits of collaborative work, since they increase individual assessment credits. However, there are other elements in the intellectual work structures originated in networks that have as much relevance as the multiplied productivity factor. In this article we show some of these elements or multiplier factors of the work carried out in the research networks and identified in their biographical and cognitive ecosystems. We focus on case studies of research and collaboration networks from four countries, Colombia, Portugal, Uruguay and Brazil. Among the multiplier effects, we highlight the elements that connect a network; how and why researchers work collaboratively; types of collaboration; network life cycles; the forms of articulation; the interrelationships, and the focus on the audience for knowledge production.

Palabras clave : Collaboration research networks; Multiplying effects; International research; Colombia, Portugal, Uruguay, Brazil.
