A Preliminary Analysis of the Scientific Production of Latin American Computer Science Research Groups

Proceedings of the 8th Alberto Mendelzon Workshop on Foundations of Data Management, Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, June 4-6, 2014.

Abstract: In this paper, we present a preliminary analysis of the scientific production of Latin American Computer Science research groups. Our analysis is based on data over a period of 20 years collected from DBLP, and addresses 24 groups from academic institutions in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Our results show a clear improvement in the publication output of these groups in the last 10 years, particularly in Argentina, Chile and Mexico.

Conference Paper

Analyzing the Coauthorship Networks of Latin American Computer Science Research Groups

9th Latin American Web Congress, {LA-WEB} 2014, Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 22-24 October, 2014

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the coauthorship net-works of Latin American Computer Science research groups from 35 academic institutions in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Our analysis is based on data over a period of 20 years collected from DBLP, and aims to know the topological structure of each of these networks and provide a view of how they have evolved over time. Our results show that over the 2004-2013 decade there has been a relevant increase in terms of publications and collaborations in Latin America. We also identify the influential authors in the area according to complex network metrics and analyze the research networks originated from the coauthorships. Despite the increase in all per-country metrics, we observed that there is still a lot to improve, since most of the collaborations happen between just Brazil-Chile and Argentina-Brazil, although there is some growth in the diversity of the collaborations.
