| Sumario: | 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. |
