Abstract

The establishment of networks of scientific collaboration of academic groups occurs like a strategic element for the generation and dissemination of knowledge. It is in this sense that the analysis and study of these networks and their results are presented in an appropriate way, however, it is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon. This is why new methods and tools are required. This paper explores the theory of fuzzy logic as an element of analysis that allows to accurately distinguish in quantifying the potential of academic groups in a multidimensional way. It makes evident the greater potential of academic bodies that make scientific collaboration networks.
