The general aim of this study is to quantify the benefit rate in visibility and impact of scientific production in the field of N&N bearing in mind the different types of output (total, in leadership, excellent, and excellent with leadership) of the six main producers of knowledge in N&N in Latin America in the period 2003-2013. More specifically we aspire to visualize the networks of international collaboration in agiven country, Argentina (ego-network) to represent the difference between the citations received per type of output, and identify the associates with whom a country has greater potential and capacity to generate knowledge of high quality, as well as the differences existing in terms of visibility depending on the type of production analyzed. In short, we wish to determine the benefits of such collaborativeefforts.
