HIDALGO, Cecilia; NATENZON, Claudia E. e AGUNIN, Aldo G.. Producción de conocimiento en redes interdisciplinarias con inclusión de actores sociales: estudio de caso. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2010, vol.5, n.9, pp.68-96. ISSN 1870-4115. https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2010.9.160.
The challenge of addressing complex research problems, together with the disposition to arrive at socially relevant results, lead to a search for cooperation in the cognitive sphere. One of the most outstanding contemporary transformations of the world scientific community in response to this search is the creation of knowledge networks, at both national and international levels, and both disciplinary and inter-disciplinary in nature. This phenomenon is only beginning and thus we are not yet seeing detailed case studies that might allow a theoretical understanding of the specificity of this form of collaborative knowledge production. This article presents a diachronic, prolonged, participative study of the cooperative production of a multinational, interdisciplinary scientific network. The interaction within this network was recorded and monitored throughout the three years of a demanding research project. The change-oriented dynamics in the network’s internal interactions, the constitution of sub-groups or cliques, as well as other elements in the cooperative experience in this knowledge network are characterized at three points during the project: one at the beginning, characterized as the expectation of networking; another at the intermediate stage, as effective networking verified through tangible results, and a third at the end of the project, as demonstrating the team’s results —productions—. The Ucinet program has made it possible to calculate some network metrics, and to diagram inter-institutional relations, demonstrating its value as a complementary tool in the ethnographic field of study.
