%0 Journal Article %T A an芍lise de redes sociais no mundo lus車fono: contributos para o conhecimento de uma comunidade cient赤fica em desenvolvimento %A Marta Varanda %A Raquel Rego %A Breno Fontes %A Klaus Eichner %J REDES : Revista Hispana para el An芍lisis de Redes Sociales %D 2012 %I Universitat Aut辰noma de Barcelona %X This article intends to characterize a group of social scientists we have distinguished by its use of social network analysis (SNA) as a theoretical and methodological perspective, and which we circumscribe to the lusophone*s world. Through the characterization of their social profile and the measurement of these actors interdependencies (collaboration, advice and co-authorship), we wish to contribute to the explanation of the development of SNA in the lusophony. We elaborate hypothesis concerning the inhibitors and motivators of its development in this linguistic context. %K Social Network Analysis 每 Brazil 每 Portugal - Lusophone Community 每 Social Sciences 每 Scientific innovation. %U http://revista-redes.rediris.es/html-vol22/vol22_7.htm
