Abstract

This study analyzes the scientific collaboration between Brazil and France in the area of Agricultural Sciences through bibliometric indicators of activity and binding (co-authorship) between 2004 and 2013. The data retrieved from the database Scopus were processed with the software VantagePoint®. The results suggest that the cooperation arising from co-authorship between the two countries has evolved at an average rate of 148.1 articles per year, an average annual growth of 11.79%, with Taxonomy, Amazon, Eucalyptus and Cerrado being the leading subject areas in number of publications. We have highlighted the journals that have the highest number of published records as well as the Brazilian and French institutions in which there is a greatest degree of collaboration. The study shows important factors that emerge from the scientific partnership between Brazil and France and underlines the importance of the role of bibliometrics as a useful tool in assisting the study of scientific cooperation.
