Rede científica do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Biológicas:

This article aims to identify the scientific network of professors/researchers at the Graduate Program in Biological Sciences: Biochemistry (GPSBiochemistry), from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), in the period 2007-2016. Applies bibliometrics indicators of scientific production (number of documents published in journals) and co-authorship. The data collection of the scientific production of the 48 professors from GPSBiochemistry/UFRGS took place at Coleta Capes and at the Sucupira Platform, belonging to the Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES), followed by the verification of whether this production was indexed in the Web of Science. In order to treat and normalize the names of the institutions in which the researchers declared their affiliation, a controlled vocabulary of authorities was created in the Thesa tool. The networks were created using the VosViewer software. GPSBiochemistry/UFRGS has a wide scientific network of collaboration in the published documents, and the most frequent interactions, in all periods analyzed, were with researchers affiliated with departments of the university itself (UFRGS) and with institutions located in the southern region of the country. Due to the lack of standardization of the names of the researchers' affiliation institutions, this article proposes a standardization protocol for the institutional name for the GPSBiochemistry/UFRGS context, which can be used by managers in the definition of an internal policy for submission of manuscripts per professor. In addition, the controlled vocabulary of authorities "Institutions of Biochemistry", created for the development of this research, may be used in other studies.
