Abstract

This article describes and it analyzes characteristics and changes occurred in the configuration of the network of co-authorships formed by professors of Brazilian programs of post graduate (stricto sensu) in administration in the period from 2001 to 2006. The empiric reference includes 703 professors linked to national programs of post graduate in Administration. For the analysis of the social networks and co-authorships of the publications we used the softwares UCINET 6 and PAJEK 1.21. There was significant growth in the number of co-authorships of one triennial as in the other (2001-2003 and 2004-2006). The increase in the interaction among researchers might have occurred for changes which occurred in the criterion of the evaluation of Capes; formation of new research groups and/or maturation of those already existent; the search for larger quality of the researches; elevation of the specialization degree in the scientific field; and predominate methodology in the disciplines, among others. The results suggest that the area is consenting to the exigencies of the official organs of accreditation of the post graduate.
