The study reveals that coauthorship is predominant in the field, with most papers coauthored by pairs or trios of researchers. The social network analysis indicates high average clustering coefficient meaning researchers in electromagnetism education introduce their coauthors to each other, expanding the social circle within the field. However, the network also exhibits a fragmented structure, with several subgroups collaborating independently. The presence of students in connected components is relatively low, indicating a mature research community driven mainly by university professors. Moreover, structural features of the coauthorship network do not vary significantly between researchers from multiple journals versus a single journal. This study underscores the importance of social network analysis in understanding scientific collaboration and its implications for knowledge diffusion within a narrow research community within physics education research. Este artículo de investigación explora los patrones y características de colaboración entre investigadores en el campo de la educación en electromagnetismo utilizando datos bibliométricos y relacionales de múltiples revistas revisadas por pares. El estudio revela que la coautoría es predominante en el campo, con la mayoría de los artículos escritos por parejas o tríos de investigadores. El análisis de redes sociales indica un alto coeficiente de agrupamiento promedio, lo que significa que los investigadores en educación en electromagnetismo presentan a sus coautores entre sí, expandiendo así el círculo social dentro del campo. Sin embargo, la red también exhibe una estructura fragmentada, con varios subgrupos que colaboran de forma independiente. La presencia de estudiantes en los componentes conectados es relativamente baja, lo que indica una comunidad de investigación madura impulsada principalmente por profesores universitarios. Además, las características estructurales de la red de coautoría no varían significativamente entre los investigadores de múltiples revistas y aquellos de una sola revista. Este estudio destaca la importancia del análisis de redes sociales para comprender la colaboración científica y sus implicaciones para la difusión del conocimiento dentro de una estrecha comunidad de investigación en la educación en física.

This research paper explores the collaboration patterns and characteristics among researchers in the field of electromagnetism education research using bibliometric and relational data from multiple peer-reviewed journals. The study reveals that coauthorship is predominant in the field, with most papers coauthored by pairs or trios of researchers. The social network analysis indicates high average clustering coefficient meaning researchers in electromagnetism education introduce their coauthors to each other, expanding the social circle within the field. However, the network also exhibits a fragmented structure, with several subgroups collaborating independently. The presence of students in connected components is relatively low, indicating a mature research community driven mainly by university professors. Moreover, structural features of the coauthorship network do not vary significantly between researchers from multiple journals versus a single journal. This study underscores the importance of social network analysis in understanding scientific collaboration and its implications for knowledge diffusion within a narrow research community within physics education research. |
