Inter-Organizational Collaborative Networks: A Systematic Review

The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic review of collaborative networks with the aid of the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method. Using keywords, searches were made in repositories of journals, resulting in a bibliographic portfolio of 66 papers analyzed in this study. Among the main results are high-impact researchers publishing together with the organizational restrictions for cooperation, the importance of hubs for the dissemination of knowledge and the transfer of technology, the needs for organizational strategies aimed at collaboration, the needs for indicators in the networks.
