Abstract

Scientific collaboration between researchers, institutions and countries has aroused the interest of Information Science scholars who want to know the relationships established between the actors involved, the dynamics and evolution of social standards in scientific communication. Through bibliometric analysis, this study aims to visualize the network of scientific collaboration between the discursive community that conducts research on leprosy in Brazil through institutional co-authoring relationships. Collaboration characteristics were studied based on the co-authorship of 498 articles indexed in the Web of Science database in the period 2016-2020. The analyzes reveal that a significant part of the articles was published by a small group of institutions and that, despite the greater number, the universities have more widely distributed publications and don’t occupy the centrality of the network, which is dominated by research institutes, which concentrate a large number of publications in a few units.
