This article aims to examine the specificities of scientific cooperation in the Global South, with a focus on Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Arab States. The first section develops a theoretical discussion that contrasts the dominant concept of internationalization (Knight; De Wit) with recent critical studies in this field (Stein; Marginson; Teferra). It questions the applicability of the hegemonic conception of internationalization to the Global South and examines the unequal power relations and resource access disparities between countries and institutions. The second section, utilizing secondary statistical data and qualitative reports, provides a concise overview of the state of higher education and internationalization in these regions, highlighting key challenges. Finally, to illustrate alternatives models for a more autonomous and self-centered South-South internationalization, the article discusses the experience of the Knowledge Network on the Right to Education in the Global South (REGS), a cooperative initiative established among scientific associations in Latin America, Africa, and Arab States from 2021 to 2023.

This article explores technological development and its transfer in the context of cooperation between scientific and technological institutions (STI), represented in large part by universities, and companies. The motivation for the research arose from the finding that most studies on technology transfer do not clarify how the technology development process takes place. In this context, the objective of the research is to characterize the main aspects of the technology development and licensing process of patented technologies in the State of Paraná in Brazil. In methodological terms, the research is predominantly qualitative, with primary data collection in two phases: i) data on intellectual property requests and technology transfers from 16 STI from Paraná selected for the study; ii) questionnaire from 45 researchers who invented intellectual property claims to characterize the development process of protected and transferred and non-transferred technologies. It is inferred, from the study carried out in Paraná, that developing technologies oriented by the demand of the productive sector favors their transfer to society and that the intellectual capital of STI plays a key role in the beginning of successful interactions.

Network science is a multidisciplinary field that offers a broad framework for studying statistical properties of a variety of phenomena. At the core of its success is the fact that systems, in spite of the complexity of their constituents or interactions, can be represented as a simple graph, a set of nodes connected by edges. In this approach, processes of a very different nature, such as the internet, scientific collaborations, or protein networks, become similar from a network point of view, which allows not only to understand natural networks in a unified way, but also to optimize and design more efficient artificial networks. Within this context, this article has two objectives. First, present the main concepts of network science, such as graphs, the small-world property, connectivity distribution, among others, as well as some of the main network models proposed in the literature. The second objective is to apply network science to analyze a real network, more precisely the network of researchers from the National Institute of Science and Technology of Quantum Information. Our results show that from a statistical point of view the studied network is well described by a truncated power law, with a high degree of interconnectivity among the participants. A cluster, formed by 8 smaller communities, contains 85% of the network's scientists. The network's average number of collaborations is close to 5 and the average of articles published is above 13 in the analyzed period of time. The network has a high clustering coefficient, with a value of {C} = 0.4, showing that the collaborators of a given scientist also tend to collaborate with each other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given the urgent need for recognition of the Executive Secretariat in Brazil by local evaluation and research promotion agencies, the purpose of this research is to make notes on the process of scientific institutionalization of the field, considering the idiosyncrasies of its structural components and scientific production. For this, the Graduation Courses, the scientific communication vehicles, the researchers and the dynamics of their scientific production are analyzed, in a time frame of 21 years (1997-2018). It is a qualiquantitative, analytical research, which uses the survey as a collection method and Scientometrics as a method of analysis. As result, the distribution of courses and researchers have presented; the culture of scientific communication; the ranking of journals and more recurrent events; the productivity of researchers and institutions; and scientific collaboration among these components. By exploring the analytical potential of such indicators, it is possible to conclude that four backgrounds should make up the agenda of the community cited concerning its scientific positioning.

Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous zoonotic Dermatophytosis caused by fungi from the complex Sporothrix sp., it's been frequently seen due to it's propagation by the cat and easy dissemination of the agent. The disease has been relevant since the epidemics taken place in Rio de Janeiro in the end of the 20th century, although it was recognized by the government agencies, still considered neglected and underdiagnosed. The meta-analysis study involving 147 works published between 2010 and 2020 revealed that Brazil was highlighted in the occurrence of sporotrichosis, including demonstrating greater global scientific production and figuring a central role in coordinating actions for scientific collaboration with other countries. These joint actions have resulted in social media campaigns, alerting cat guardians of the risks and how the disease presents clinically. Although its good prognosis, the disease has become a public health problem in the diverse regions of Brasil, affecting humans and cats. The observation of the clinical signs and history associated to the diagnostic means are essential to the identification of the Sporotrichosis, by the means of diagnosis, the growth and cytology considered golden standard to identify the agent Sporthrix sp. A quick identification of the sporotrichosis is essential, therefore this review has the porpouse of describing clinical and epidemological patterns of the desease and highlight its significance to society.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of the corresponding author (CA) in the area of Information Metric Studies. More specifically, we analyze the role of the CA in the articles published in co-authorship in the Journal of informetrics (JOI) in 2016, from two different perspectives: i) the bibliometric characteristics of the CAs; ii) the understanding of the role of the CA by the authors listed in the papers. We carried out the analysis in two stages: 1) identification of the percentage of participation in the main phases of the development of the article and the h index of the CAs by type of authorship, categorizing the contributions of the authors using the information from the JOI submission forms; 2) qualitative evaluation of the role of the CA according to the understanding of the articles' authors, using as a basis the responses of a questionnaire sent to the authors (Hilário, 2020).The results of the analysis include the bibliometric indicators related to the CA by type of authorship (double, triple, quadruple or more): position of the CA in the line of authorship; total percentage of contribution by the CA in the main phases of the development of research; h index; as well as the understanding of the 30 authors who answered the questionnaire regarding the role of the correspondence author in the development of research.

This article aims to study elements of technical and scientific cooperation between universities and industries from the perspective of researchers from Santa Catarina State University -- UDESC. The study of the links between universities and companies and their collaborative efforts contribute to broaden the understanding of the phenomenon of innovation, from the perspective of economic development. The theme becomes even more timely in the face of the Brazilian economic crisis and government funding restrictions on education, research and extension activities. The research has an exploratory and descriptive approach and it is a qualitative research. We interviewed coordinators of research projects in collaboration with industries, involving transfer of funds in the period 2002-2012. The analysis categories were: industry research objective; researcher research objective; facilitative and inhibitive research development factors; decisive factors in partner choice. For data analysis, has used the software Atlas/ti©. Among the results, we saw that the main objectives pursued by industries with research projects in collaboration with universities are associated with process improvement and new product development. For researchers, the main objectives are: improvement of laboratory structure involved with the research; improved marketing of the institution; achieve further development as a researcher and financial incentives. These results were strongly collaborated by international literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through this article we approach the study field of the information literacy, from a global perspective starting from its definition of terminology and its link with the informative to arrive to a specific analysis about the terminological overview in the Spanish language. Then we advise the development of mechanisms of common tendency for the integration of patterns according to this language. We take into account that information literacy has a broad link with the library environments and that also deals with a range of application possibilities (digital libraries and resource centers, etc.) and with the detection of new ways of educational work such as: e-learning, blending learning, collaborative learning and ionic reading, requiring the development of new skills. The second part of the article is focused on the vision of the information literacy in application outlines beyond the library itself for research projects in academic fields specifically related with its incorporation into the curriculum (specially of graduate) as a cross sectional part of itself. We propose the possibility to develop a cooperative research between Mexico and Spain, taking into consideration their good practices as well as their necessities for knowledge generation through the presentation of a set of concrete proposals identified in both countries.

This research aimed to explore the panorama of the articles on Work Psychodynamics (PDT), published in the Portal of Journals CAPES / MEC, in Portuguese language, from 2000 to 2014. The research is classified as descriptive and bibliometric. For the survey of the articles key words extracted from the theory of clinical Psychodynamics of Work were used. There were 95 articles in the period, which corresponds to an average of 6.33 articles per year. The results indicated that most of the publications focused on the years 2009 to 2012. The articles can be considered as good quality, since they have been published for the most part in journals with Qualis / CAPES higher than B3. Among the main themes, it was observed that the authors prioritize the study and analysis of the work, and its relation with the health and suffering of the worker. As for the profile of the authors, it was verified that most of them are female and with doctor degree. In relation to the formation of research networks, we identified four major networks among authors, in which the south-east, south and center-west regions stand out as the most representative. It is concluded that the research in PDT can be considered modest, but of good quality, in which scientific cooperation is valued. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A formação de redes de inovação tem sido apontada na literatura como forma de complementar as capacidades inovadoras internas da empresa a partir da colaboração com outros agentes. Com o intuito de buscar comprovações empíricas para tal assertiva, este artigo verifica qual a contribuição dos parceiros estabelecidos em redes de inovação para o desempenho inovador de empresas da indústria elétrica eletrônica. A pesquisa, de caráter exploratório e descritivo, resultou em um levantamento de dados de 185 empresas da Indústria Elétrica Eletrônica Brasileira (IEEB), que foram analisados com base na Modelagem de Equações Estruturais (SEM). Entre os principais resultados, foi observado que o estabelecimento de relações de colaboração com clientes/consumidores, competidores e universidade/institutos de pesquisa pode corroborar os resultados em inovação de processo e organizacional. Ressalta-se também que, apesar da obtenção de alguns resultados significativos acerca das redes de inovação, as empresas da IEEB ainda atribuem maior importância às atividades internas para inovar.
