Abstract

In this article, we present a view at the field of Communication research in Chile, from the analysis of its networks of academic collaboration, operating through the characterization of co-authorship of 57 research projects, financed with public funds between 2010 and 2016, along with a sample of 417 academic articles published in national and international scientific journals of the area between 2010 and 2018. These results are complemented, from a qualitative perspective, with interviews about the assessment of networking, one sample of researchers linked to this area in our country. The results show a positive predisposition for networking which, nevertheless, is partially hindered by the current demand conditions for scientific productivity in which academic work is developed nowadays.
