Graduate studies in education in the state of Amapá, Brazil: research groups on educational policy

ABSTRACT The objective of this article is to analyze the networks of scientific cooperation built around scientific production in co-authorship with leaders of research groups on educational policies in connection with the Federal University of Amapá (UNIFAP). Such purpose will be guided by the following question: Which networks have been built by the leaders of research groups on educational policies associated with UNIFAP by means of their co-authored scientific production? The methodology prioritizes bibliographical and documental review. The bibliographical baseline is grounded on authors and the documental baseline includes the platform of the Directory of Research Groups with the National Council on Research (CNPq) and Plataform Sucupira. The analysis shows the research networks built around scientific production, and shows also that, although these researchers have strengthened some partnerships, mainly with researchers from the Federal University of Pará, there is still a need for more interlocution with other institutional spaces beyond the regional and national context.
