BRANAS DE MELO, Thiago et al. Social Networks Developed By Revista CTS: An Analysis Of Its First Twelve Years Of Publication. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.33, pp.267-290. ISSN 1850-0013.

This work, quantitative and descriptive in nature, aims at drafting a profile of Revista Iberoamericana de Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad - CTS (Ibero-American Journal of Science, Technology and Society - STS) by bringing together the most prominent authors, countries and key words of its first 12 years of publication. For that purpose, we used as single methodological contribution the analysis of social networks, outlining the current relations throughout the 30 issues published between 2003 and 2015, at times by subdividing them into two temporal groups of 15 issues each. Results show that there has been a change in the profile of publishing authors and the key words of texts in the journal throughout the years. On the other hand, this paper reveals the groups of researchers that are networking, as well as which are the most relevant published research teams.
