Abstract

One of the key aims of the so-called Information Society is to facilitate the interconnection and communication of sparse groups of people, which can collaborate with each other by exchanging on-line information from distributed sources (Angehrn et al., 2008). In specific contexts, such as in the research and scholarly domain, where many times work is developed relaying on team-based research (Borgman, 2007), finding colleagues and associates to build collaborative relationships has become a crucial matter. Actually, this is one of the pillars of the conduct of research and production of scholarship (Palmer et al., 2009). Nevertheless, this task can be specially difficult when the research activity implies opening new multidisciplinary lines of investigation, since it is hard to know what’s hot and who’s in in a certain domain out of that of this specialization (even if both areas are related or close to each other).
