PACHECO MENDEZ, Teresa. La investigación social universitaria: redes de conocimiento en Chiapas. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2010, vol.5, n.10, pp.338-362. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2010.10.154.

Citation is used in many of the practices incorporated and recognized in social sciences research. It is a resource that is even considered to be an indispensable requirement in all academic work characterized by scientific rigor and quality. However, the ways in which this practice has evolved have demonstrated that, far from guaranteeing innovative results, citation reveals the capacity of an academic community to create links locally and globally as a result of the communication and knowledge networks established through this practice.

Keywords : social research; knowledge networks; Chiapas.
