This article conducts a longitudinal analysis of the network of scientific production in Social Management in the country between 2005 and 2015, a period in which this concept/approach was - nationally - institutionalized as an academic community. The study evidences scientific production growth, identifies the prolific authors, and presents collaboration indexes. It analyses academic events and scientific journals by the modelling of social networks to classify its authors by frequency of publication and centrality measurements (degree, intermediation and eigenvector). Therefore, this mapping contributes to characterizing Social Management by its researcher's network and understanding the formation of this field of knowledge in Brazil.
