Resumo: This paper aims to cast some light on the dynamics of knowledge networks in developing countries by analyzing the scientific production of the largest university in the Northeast of Brazil and its influence on some of the remaining regional research institutions in the state of Bahia. Using a methodology test to be employed in a larger project, the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA) (Federal University of Bahia), the Universidade do Estado da Bahia (Uneb) (State of Bahia University) and the Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz (Uesc)’s (Santa Cruz State University) scientific productions are discussed in one of their most traditionally expressive sectors in academic production — namely, the field of chemistry, using social network analysis of co-authorship networks to investigate the existence of small world phenomena and the importance of these phenomena in research performance in these three universities. The results already obtained through this research bring to light data of considerable interest concerning the scientific production in unconsolidated research universities. It shows the important participation of the UFBA network in the composition of the other two public universities research networks, indicating a possible occurrence of small world phenomena in the UFBA and Uesc networks, as well as the importance of individual researchers in consolidating research networks in peripheral universities. The article also hints that the methodology employed appears to be adequate insofar as scientific production may be used as a proxy for scientific knowledge.

Através de um teste demetodologia, as produções científicas, especificamente no campo da química,da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), da Universidade do Estado da Bahia(Uneb) e da Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz (Uesc) foram minuciosamenteanalisadas e cruzadas. Por meio da análise de redes sociais investigou-se a existência de pequenos fenômenos do mundo e a importância destes fenômenos narealização da pesquisa nas três universidades. Os resultados obtidos com a pesquisaelucidaram dados de grande interesse sobre a produção científica nessas universidadese comprovaram a importante participação da rede UFBA e das outras duasinstituições públicas de pesquisa, bem como a importância dos pesquisadores naconsolidação de redes. Este artigo também sugere que a metodologia pode seradequada à medida que a produção científica seja utilizada como um substitutopara o conhecimento científico.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2009-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6896Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 43 No. 6 (2009); 1279 a 1314Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 43 Núm. 6 (2009); 1279 a 1314Revista de Administração Pública; v. 43 n. 6 (2009); 1279 a 13141982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6896/5469Quintella, Rogério HermidaFreitas, Elizabeth Jorge da Silva Monteiro deVentura, Andréa CardosoSantos, Morjane ArmstrongAntonio, Liliane Queirozinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-17T20:50:41Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/6896Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2021-11-17T20:50:41Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
