摘要：This work is based on the analysis of scientific collaboration between the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) and Latin America, in order to study the thematic cooperation and the development of scientific networks. The analysis is significant since CSIC is the Spanish institution with the highest co-authorship with Latin America. Results show that the use of WoS instead of CD ROM increases by 22% the region’s visibility, due to the inclusion of new Chemistry and Materials Science journals. Universities are the main contributors to the relationship between CSIC and Latin America and a strong cooperation in the Physics and Chemistry areas is observed. Activity and impact indicators show that Physics is the strongest point in the CSIC-Latin America collaboration. Network analysis by area shows the institutional connections in each one of them and their different structure. Through citation analysis, a positive relationship between impact and number of participating countries can be detected, revealing the importance of collaboration.
