Resumen
MEZA, Paulina; SABAJ, Omar y MATSUDA, Ken. Single authorship in SciELO Chile: authorial practices in scientific areas. Biblios [online]. 2017, n.66, pp.11-19. ISSN 1562-4730. http://dx.doi.org/10.5195/biblios.2017.332.
Given the importance of cooperation analysis, the scientific productivity study has been focused on multiple rather than single authorship. This article aims at analyzing single authorship in SciELO Chile between 2010 and 2014. The ratios of single to multiple authorship, and number of contributions to single authors for each scientific field were estimated using 9,541 entries. Single authorship, on the one hand, accounts for the 29% of total analyzed papers and is a usual practice in humanities and social sciences. On the other, single authors tend to be occasional, i.e., they write alone and only once. The study of single authorship is key to understanding the particular dynamics involved in the construction of scientific knowledge and to generating research policies.
