ab: Summary: Social networks are social structures consisting of individuals or
    organizations, usually represented by nodes tied by one or more types
    of relationships. Although these structures are often complex,
    analyzing them enables us to detect several inter and intra connections
    amongst people in and outside their organizations. In this context, we
    present an approach using data mining techniques in order to identify
    intra and inter organizational linkages amongst groups of people with
    similar profiles. Using clustering techniques, we identify groups of
    people in a way that allows us to evaluate how researchers collaborate
    in the Brazilian scientific scenario of Computing Science. Besides
    this, we are able to understand how research flows amongst the best
    universities and research centres in Brazil. Understanding the
    Scientific Brazilian scenario can help the development of research in
    other scenario or even in other Social Network Types.
