Network analysis of collaboration in networked universities

Kybernetes (2021)

José D. Meisel Felipe Montes Angie Marcela Ramírez Rubio Pablo Lemoine J. A. Valdivia

Purpose In Latin America and the Caribbean, the access of students to higher education has presented an extraordinary growth over the past fifteen years. This rapid growth has presented a challenge for increasing the system resources and capabilities while maintaining its quality. As a result, the networked universities (NUs) organized themselves as a collaborative network, and they have become an interesting model for facing the complexity driven by globalization, rapidly changing technology, dynamic growth of knowledge and highly specialized areas of expertise. In this article, we studied the NU named Red Universitaria Mutis (Red Mutis) with the aim of characterizing the collaboration and integration structure of the network. Design/methodology/approach Network analytic methods (visual analysis, positional analysis and a stochastic network method) were used to characterize the organizational structure and robustness of the network, and to identify what variables or structural tendencies are related to the likelihood that specific areas of a university would collaborate. Findings Red Mutis is a good example of regional NUs that could take advantage of the strengths, partnerships, information and knowledge of the regional and international universities that form the network. Analyses showed that Red Mutis has a differentiated structure consisting of academic and non-academic university areas with a vertical coordination (by steering and management) of the different university areas. Originality/value The methodology could be used as a framework to analyze and strengthen other strategic alliances between universities and as a model for the development of other NU in local and global contexts.

20 años de guía en la construcción del capital social de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de los Andes

Revista de Ingeniería (2011)

Roberto Zarama Adriana Díaz Felipe Montes José D. Meisel Juan Pablo Román-Calderón

This work is a tribute to the 20th anniversary of the Revista de Ingeniería de la Universidad de los Andes. In these two decades this journal has guided the construction of social capital of this School of Engineering. This work presents the relationship between the scientific production of the School of Engineering and its accumulation of social capital. Social capital is represented by coauthorships. These relations represent a dynamic network where groups of actors work together in the production of knowledge. The proposal is that structural characteristics (size and connectivity) of the network represent a measure of social capital. Therefore, the study of the dynamics of the network gives hints of the accumulation of social capital and the collective strategies of knowledge production. The results show a dose-response relation between scientific production and the structural characteristics of the network. The connectivity between coauthors and the size of the network (number of nodes and number of arcs) are positively related with the dynamics of knowledge production.

Network Analysis of Bogotá's Ciclovía Recreativa, a Self-Organized Multisectorial Community Program to Promote Physical Activity in a Middle-Income Country

American Journal of Health Promotion (2013)

José D. Meisel Olga L. Sarmiento Felipe Montes Edwin O. Martinez Pablo Lemoine

Conduct a social network analysis of the health and non-health related organizations that participate in Bogotá's Ciclovía Recreativa (Ciclovía).Cross-sectional study.Ciclovía is a multisectoral community-based mass program in which streets are temporarily closed to motorized transport, allowing exclusive access to individuals for leisure activities and physical activity.Twenty-five organizations that participate in the Ciclovía.Seven variables were examined by using network analytic methods: relationship, link attributes (integration, contact, and importance), and node attributes (leadership, years in the program, and the sector of the organization).The network analytic methods were based on a visual descriptive analysis and an exponential random graph model.Analysis shows that the most central organizations in the network were outside of the Health sector and include Sports and Recreation, Government, and Security sectors. The organizations work in clusters formed by organizations of different sectors. Organization importance and structural predictors were positively related to integration, while the number of years working with Ciclovía was negatively associated with integration.Ciclovía is a network whose structure emerged as a self-organized complex system. Ciclovía of Bogotá is an example of a program with public health potential formed by organizations of multiple sectors with Sports and Recreation as the most central.

SISCOVID: modelos de sistemas complejos para contribuir a disminuir la transmisión de SARS-COV-2 en contextos urbanos de Colombia

Revista de Ingeniería (2020)

Felipe Montes José D. Meisel Pablo Lemoine Diana R. Higuera Andrés F. Useche

The development and implementation of strategies to reduce SARS-CoV2 transmission is a prevailing challenge for Colombia. These strategies ought to be dynamic and specific to each region, seeking to balance health and economic impacts. This task calls for an interdisciplinary approach to ensure a holistic view of the problem. This article presents findings and results obtained from the SISCOVID project, which used simulated systemic models to support decision making and efforts to mitigate the pandemic in Colombia. The project included researchers from Universidad de Los Andes, the Centro Nacional de Consultoría (CNC) and Universidad de Ibagué, in alliance with several international universities and companies. SISCOVID helped decision makers design strategies to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission in urban contexts for the cities of Barranquilla, Bogotá, Cali, Cartagena, and Medellín.
