Tamaño de los grupos, Grupos de investigadores, Ingresos de escalaResumen
Estudios brasileños e internacionales han encontrado reconfiguraciones en la composición de los Grupos de Investigación para atender las demandas de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, a nivel académico, social o innovador. Sin embargo, el escenario encontrado en estudios empíricos extranjeros es que el aumento del número de investigadores (innecesariamente / no planificado) puede comprometer negativamente variables endógenas (indicadores internos, tales como: producciones bibliográficas; formación de recursos humanos y; actividades de investigación) y variables exógenas ( calificación de la producción científica y de los propios investigadores). Así, este artículo realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre las consecuencias del tamaño de los Grupos de Investigación a la luz de la Teoría de la Renta de Escalas. En cuanto a los procedimientos metodológicos, se trata de una investigación explicativa que adoptó el método de enfoque hipotético deductivo y se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica. La revisión de la literatura reveló algunos hallazgos relevantes, tales como: Los grupos más pequeños logran mejores desempeños que los Grupos con más investigadores; existen evidentes relaciones entre el crecimiento del número de investigadores en grupos más grandes y la consecuente reducción de la producción media y de las citas. Con base en los resultados obtenidos, se encontró que Grupos más grandes alrededor del mundo pueden obtener mejores rendimientos a escala si reducen su tamaño en dos o tres veces.
