Scientific cooperation is essential for the advance of science. Bibliometrics and social network analysis offer evaluation indicators to analyse collaboration in scientific papers. The aim of this study is to characterize scientific collaboration patterns in Revista de Neurología between 2002 and 2006.
Coauthorships and institutional relationships of papers published in Revista de Neurología have been identified. Collaboration Index, the most productive authors' and institutional collaboration patterns and the types of institutional collaborations have been quantified. Also, it has been constructed the coauthorship networks and the institutional collaboration network. Networks have been identified and represented using Access and Pajek software tools.
The Collaboration Index was 4.01. 56.54% of papers involved institutional collaboration. The collaboration between institutions of the same country prevails (52.7%), followed by collaborations between departments, services or units of the same institution (40.47%) and international collaboration (6.83%). 45 coauthorship networks involving 149 investigators with a high intensity of collaboration and a large institutional network involved 80 centres were observed.
Revista de Neurología covers scientific production of a high number of research groups. It has been observed a positive evolution in the collaboration patterns over the time. Nevertheless, it is essential to encourage inter-regional and international collaboration.
科学合作对于科学进步至关重要。文献计量学和社会网络分析提供了评估指标，用于分析科学论文中的合作情况。本研究旨在描述《神经学杂志》2002年至2006年间的科学合作模式。
确定了在《神经学杂志》上发表论文的共同作者关系和机构关系。对合作指数、最多产作者的合作模式和机构合作模式以及机构合作类型进行了量化。此外，构建了共同作者网络和机构合作网络。使用Access软件工具和Pajek软件工具识别并呈现了这些网络。
合作指数为4.01。56.54%的论文涉及机构合作。同一国家机构间的合作占主导（52.7%），其次是同一机构内各部门、科室或单位间的合作（40.47%）以及国际合作（6.83%）。观察到45个涉及149名研究人员的高强度合作的共同作者网络，以及一个涉及80个中心的大型机构网络。
《神经学杂志》涵盖了大量研究团队的科研成果。随着时间推移，合作模式呈现出积极的演变。然而，鼓励区域间和国际合作至关重要。
