Abstract
This paper discusses the Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a method
to be broadly applied in researches in the Information Science (IS)
field. This science is, normally, presented as an interdisciplinary
field, but the research lines conducted in Brazil have different
relationship with other disciplines and consequently dissimilar interdisciplinary
characteristics. The analysis of the co-authorship network of the
professors of the PPGCI/UFMG emphasizes both, the strength of the
methodology and the characteristics of the collaboration in the IS.
The article gives an overview of the theoretical basis of the SNA,
and presents studies about subjects related to the Information Science
field that are done applying SNA, mainly the co-authorship network
analysis. Finally, the methodological approach of this research and
the main results are presented
