Resumen:
We analyse the co-authorship and publication patterns of 863 mainstream
WoS papers in the field of Chemistry co-authored between Mexican and
French institutions from 1984 to 2013 with the purpose of identifying
and characterizing the dynamics of sustained collaborative research
partnerships in the field between the two countries. From a normalized
set of the most productive authors with >= 5 co-authorships we selected
three Mexican scientists for a detailed analysis of their co-authorship
network visualized using Gephi software and its development over time.
The first was the most productive Mexican author from the main national
university whose collaboration with France spanned the period from
1987-2012, while the second and third researchers work in provincial
universities and whose collaboration with France is more recent but
lasting 10 and 15 years respectively, and also continues up to the
present day. Preliminary results suggest that sustained partnerships are
driven by a strong central bond between the Mexican researcher and their
foreign partner. In the first two cases, the bond is with directly with
a French scientist but in the third, is stronger with an Italian rather
than with the French counterpart.
