Mapping Brazilian Computer Science Collaboration Networks and Research Output

Collaboration Networks in Brazilian Computer Science

I applied Network Science to analyze Brazilian computer science, revealing that international collaborations significantly boost citation rates. While Brazil ranks 12th globally in output, its citation impact lags behind top nations. My research shows Theory & Math leads in international engagement, whereas Info Systems remains largely domestic, highlighting structural differences across subfields.

"Papers involving international collaboration receive substantially more citations than domestic-only papers, with an average of 12.56 citations per paper compared to 3.95."
