SILVA, Altina Abadia da; AMARAL, Cláudia Tavares do  and  ALMEIDA, Luciana Barros de. Education Research Networks and Scientific Collaboration. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2022, vol.29, e002.  Epub June 08, 2023. ISSN 1983-1730.  https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v29a2022-2.

We aim to understand how research networks operate in education and scientific collaboration and the cooperation with Brazilian universities. We did bibliographical research to gather data for the proposed investigation, having as a database: Rede Universitas, RedeEstrado, Rede Aste, RedeCentro and RIEOnLIFE. As a result, we identified that the creation of networks takes place within scientific and/or academic criteria and, in some cases, within economic and training criteria to expand publication possibilities. This answers the constituent questions of some networks herein analyzed and shows the financial crisis Brazilian universities face as research entities, in addition to showing the need for alignment with external funding sources and compliance with the metrics of the rating agencies. The final considerations, from a critical and analytical point of view, show processes that are conflicting and, at the same time, complementary. We are convinced of the importance of working in a network as the connection allows the researcher to acquire knowledge, in addition to observing a mutual effort in the dynamics engaged towards the consolidation of research networks and in the maintenance of research groups.

Keywords : Research networks; Teacher training; Teaching Work; Scientific Collaboration; Research financing.
