Co-Authorship Networks and Impact on Emotional Education Research

The present study shows the incidence of knowing the impact of social networks of co-authorship in the construction of new research, since they are fundamental for the location of expert authors in the thematic developments of which they are the main referents. In this sense, their location allows the construction of networks that have a significant impact on aspects such as: relational capital, cognitive capital and structural capital. In this way, it makes it possible to understand the incidence of structural gaps as positive or negative determinants when reviewing the influence of their research and the size of their epistemological influence on new researchers and topics associated with the construct of emotional education. In the methodology, the two most recognized databases in the academic community (Scopus and Web of Science) were used from the search parameters of: rank, date of consultation, type of documents, search field, keywords and results together with the review of the manifest variables of: link strength, network intensity, size, structural gaps, diversity index of collaboration and permanence, the impact of existing research. The conclusions show the need to continue delving into the construct of emotional education in the training of teachers and students, as well as in the strengthening of social networks of knowledge that allow further deepening in collaborations to produce new epistemological views from more interdisciplinary approaches with expert and novice researchers who contribute to the transformation of the educational systems of their countries.
