Abstract

In this project we will build the coauthorship networks involving the scientific production of a synchrotron laboratory, for internal researchers and for external users. We will seek to characterize the collaboration structure of this kind of facility, a topic that is yet little explored in scientometrics. With the necessary database for the coauthorship networks, it will be also possible to make a comparative study of the scientific production impact related to different beamlines, as well as of the "lato sensu" impact of the external users production and "strictu sensu", in other words, the internal production.
