The institutional coauthorships between LAC and China were fertilized through their participation in global leadership related projects. The institutions in each region diverged from their initial position: LAC to the periphery and China to the center. Institutional communities have become more compact and their links with external communities have diminished. The entry of new institutions has increased, especially in the last six years. Chinese institutions exhibited at the time a leading role as social bridges. A Colombian institution later took over this role. Australia is consolidating its position as the geography with the most intermediary institutions.
In this work the strategy of the Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) to build a Latin American collaboration is presented. Installing Cosmic Rays detectors settled all around the Continent, from Mexico to the Antarctica, this collaboration is forming a community that embraces both high energy physicist and computer scientists. This is so because the data that are measured must be analytical processed and due to the fact that textit{a priori} and textit{a posteriori} simulations representing the effects of the radiation must be performed. To perform the calculi, customized codes have been implemented by the collaboration. With regard to the huge amount of data emerging from this network of sensors and from the computational simulations performed in a diversity of computing architectures and e-infrastructures, an effort is being carried out to catalog and preserve a vast amount of data produced by the water-Cherenkov Detector network and the complete LAGO simulation workflow that characterize each site. Metadata, Permanent Identifiers and the facilities from the LAGO Data Repository are described in this work jointly with the simulation codes used. These initiatives allow researchers to produce and find data and to directly use them in a code running by means of a Science Gateway that provides access to different clusters, Grid and Cloud infrastructures worldwide.
China and Latin America (LATAM) are now key players in global research production. This study presents a comparative study on research on innovation in management and decision sciences based on data from Scopus and Web of Knowledge (WoS) between China and LATAM. Findings showed significant differences between regions regarding journals citation dependent measures, and between the number of authors and journal reputation, public universities have been leading producers, and China showed a particular interest in research topics such as commerce and industry, while LATAM in sustainable development and bio-technology.
This study aims to comprehend the structure of RIBM (research on innovation in business and management) in China and LAC (Latin America and the Caribbean) via co-word and institutional co-authorship networks using Scopus bibliographic data (1998- 2018). Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Social Network Analysis were applied. Public institutions are interconnected and generate most of the advances in RIBM. RIBM boards regional and national STi policies permeated by sustainability-related factors. China is focused on IT and knowledge management for supply chain and engineering, while LAC focuses on institutional perspectives for economic development.
This presentation for the AIES 21 doctoral consortium examines the Latin American crowdsourcing market through a decolonial lens. This research is based on the analysis of the web traffic of ninety-three platforms, interviews with Venezuelan data workers of four platforms, and the analysis of the documentation issued by these organizations. The findings show that (1) centuries-old global divisions of labor persist, in this case, with requesters located in advanced economies and workers in the Global South. (2) That the platforms configuration of the labor process constrains the agency of these workers when producing annotations. And, (3) that ideologies originating from the Global North serve to legitimize and reinforce this global labor market configuration.
Trade and investment between developing regions such as China and Latin America (LATAM) are growing prominently. However, insights on crucial factors such as innovation in business and management (iBM) about both regions have not been scrutinized. This study presents the research output, impact, and structure of iBM research published about China and LATAM in a comparative framework using Google Scholar, Dimensions, and Microsoft Academic. Findings showed i) that iBM topics of both regions were framed within research and development management, and technological development topics, ii) significant differences in output and impact between regions, and iii) the same case for platforms.
