SEMAAN, Gustavo Silva; SILVA, Edelberto Franco  and  BRITO, José André de Moura. COMPUTER IN EDUCATION COMMUNITY IN BRAZIL: analysis of contributions and collaboration networks. Revista Teias [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.67, pp.545-563.  Epub Feb 23, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2021.52845.

To analyze the Computers in Education Community and their contributions and collaborations in the national scenario, three important collections of papers in this area were considered: RBIE, RENOTE, and SBIE. The unattended database built has 119 editions, 4,497 articles published by 14,680 authors. To organize, modeling, consolidate, and extract relevant information, knowledge discovery in databases process was used. A similar process was used successfully in recent literature, addressed to isolated collections of papers. Additionally, Graph Theory concepts were necessary to identify influential authors, according to their structural positions in the graphs, built through the co-authors related in the articles. Based on the meta-analyzes, among the contributions of the work are the general statistics, the identification of authors considered influential in this area as well as the dissemination of information that constitute a solid reference for future researches.

Keywords : computers in education; graph theory; meta-analysis; KDD; centrality measures.
