Isomorfismo normativo e redes na pesquisa científica brasileira

The purpose of this article is to understand how the institutionalized disciplinary power of Capes affected the dynamics of the networks of researchers in Brazil from 2004 to 2016, through the study of the dynamics of the stricto sensu postgraduate programs of Administration at the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Sao Paulo (FGV-SP) and Veterinary Clinic of the University of Sao Paulo (USP). The research used socio-bibliometric methods, institutional and network theories, discussing the evolution of the scientific production of the programs from 2004 to 2016, and using the structural tests of the theory of networks as (scale-free, small-world, center periphery and homophilia). The method used had an objectivist approach. It is concluded when evaluating networks that there is evidence of normative isomorphism. The networks present different characteristics in their composition and react differently to the proposed tests. The adaptation to the norms can be through spurious authorship, being this important study to contribute in this field.
