In this paper I analyse how the gradual reduction of research funds in Colombia can interrupt a key process in the generation of solutions to global urban problems. I draw on a bibliometric analysis to show that research funding flowing from North to South has created collaborations between researchers from North and South that have led to a better and more comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing cities around the world. To conclude, I propose four options to counteract these trends towards lower research funding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of a systematic review of the literature (SLR) on the topic Covid-19 socio-political effects worldwide and in Colombia. The objective was to verify the state of the art of scientific production related to this field of study. To achieve the proposed end, 1556 published researches were identified, 6 with emphasis on Colombia and 1550 worldwide in the period between 2017 and 2023. With the scientific mapping, the periods and volumes of articles, authors, journals, countries, organizations, thematic areas and analysis of words and citations were analyzed. The dataset was obtained with the Scopus index database and processed with the statistical programs, Excel and Rstudio with its bibliométrix package. The results show among the countries that stand out the most worldwide the United States, the United Kingdom and China, in the case of Colombia it was found that its frequency of appearance in the field of study is (9) directly or indirectly, the same as Spain (6) y Pakistan (3). Wang Y, Wang X and Flahault, were the authors with the most impact. The journals that published the most articles were the International journal of environmental research and public health, Plos one and The Lancet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Increasingly, Agricultural Innovation Systems, AIS, have been recognized as fundamentals pathways for agricultural science impact. This new thinking focuses on innovation, not as the end of pipe outcome of knowledge transfer, but as a continuous process of social, technical and scientific collaboration at regional and higherlevel systems that impacts on productivity and innovation performance. This paper surveys the agricultural innovation system in Colombia. We analyze collaboration between authors, institutions and countries from the perspective of social network analysis to introduce a descriptive review of the scientific collaboration in terms of links (discipline structure) and nodes (actors). A mixed methodology is implemented based on co-authorship bibliometric mapping using VOS VIEWER and social network analysis based on the software UCINET. Whereas exogenous authors and institutions are the most connected in terms of interaction, they have lower influence than endogenous authors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of Colombian scientific production, which SciELO has indexed in its citation index database. Some of the objectives were to determine the production volume and the degree of collaboration, to identify the most productive Colombian universities and determine whom the academic peers for scientific and technological research were in Colombia. The study analyzed 15302 documents published in 12 years. The study found a noticeable increase in production with a 0.75 degree of global collaboration. Public universities are the universities that most published highlighting Universidad Nacional y la Universidad de Antioquia. This work also confirmed an increase in international collaboration, especially, cooperation with countries in the Latin American region. Spain is Colombia's main academic partner. The study found unnoticeable increase in production with a 0.75 degree of global collaboration. Public universities are the universities that most published highlighting Universidad Nacional y la Universidad de Antioquia. This work also confirmed an increase an international collaboration, especially cooperation countries in the Latin American region. Spain is Colombia's main academic partner. There is the bias in pro of publications in Colombian magazines. The study confirm that Healthcare Sciences are the greatest nucleus scientific production in Colombia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
