摘要:In this study we map out the structure of relationships between research institutions in the field of science and technology in Brazil, by analyzing 688 articles published in Enanpad and in the Management Symposium of Technological Innovation, between 2000 and 2005. Based on co-authorship we verified that the field is a great network in which more than half of the institutions are connected, thereby creating social capital. Some institutions also stand out because they have a great number of collaborators, because they form bridges between different groups and because they maintain durable relationships, with indications of homophylia, the geographic locations and institutional role of which condition peer relationships. Finally, the productivity of these institutions is influenced by the cooperation that exists between them.
