Analysis of the Citation Network in Scientific Journals

Resumo

This article presents an analysis of the citation network in scientific journals, with the aim of understanding citation patterns between journals and identifying trends in authorship and citation. To achieve this goal, an extensive set of citations of scientific articles published in journals by Brazilian researchers was compiled. Using network analysis techniques, the citations were modeled as a graph, allowing a systematic visualization and analysis of the citation relationships between journals. The results revealed significant findings on the dynamics of citation in the Brazilian scientific community.
