turismoAbstract
Catalan universities scientific collaboration in tourism is analyzed, from 2000 to 2010. Through coauthorship data, simple collaboration indicators are calculated and the collaboration network is examined. Collaboration among researchers, institutions and territories is investigated. Results show an increase in collaboration, differences among journals, and absence of relationship between collaboration and multidisciplinarity. The collaboration network presents a low density and several subnetworks.
