Data abstraction and centrality measures to scientific social network analysis

Analyzing social iterations in a scientific environment will assist researchers in expanding their collaborative networks. Scientific social networks represent the researchers' social iterations in an academic environment. The analysis of these networks requires a detailed study of their structure and it is important the use of visual resources in order to a better understanding of how the social iterations occur. In this paper we will use centrality metrics and a clustering algorithm to analyze the structure of a Brazilian scientific social network. A scientific social network visualization tool will be used to allow a visual analysis of the collaboration between researchers from different educational institutions.
