Redes sociais de produção científica na etnomusicologia mundial

The scientific production of various fields of knowledge can be explored through scientometric approaches such as bibliometrics and disciplines such as the sociology of science. The present study explores the academic networks that make up the scientific production of the field of ethnomusicology. Using concepts such as social capital and methodologies such as bibliometrics and social network analysis (SNA), this study explores the co-occurrence networks of key terms, the documents with the most citations globally, collaborative networks, institutions, countries, authors, co-authorship, and the main disciplinary approaches involved in contemporary ethnomusicological studies. From the creation of a bibliographic corpus extracted from two determinant bibliographic information bases in contemporary science studies; Scopus and Web of Science, several networks are modelled, and the corresponding bibliometric indicators are established. The results present different disciplinary approaches, authors' keywords, abstract analysis and the main scientific fields that converge in contemporary ethnomusicology. Some technological and conceptual implications of contemporary science are discussed with respect to the future of the study of music and ethnomusicology.
