Abstract

This article offers a method of detection, identification and visualization of longevity (time) and co-authorship size (number of people) in Brazilian Science, which makes it possible to analyze the paths of researchers according to knowledge areas. The data used for all active PhDs in 2019 registered in the Lattes Platform. The method allowed us to observe over time all possible research groups in the co-authorship collaboration. The results provide evidence that smaller groups have a longer lifespan compared to larger size groups. This article highlights in unprecedented way the paths (due to longevity and size) of Brazilian researchers, allowing to observe the performance of each researcher not in an isolated / independent way, but in a group way / dependent on collaborative and social interaction, as Science is performed nowadays.
