The project “Sociologie de la circulation des savoirs: une prosopographie exploratoire basée sur les systèmes d’information CRIS de l’Espace universitaire francophone (PRISA 2021)” is part of the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF). Its objective is to consolidate a research network on the circulation of scientific knowledge based on the convergence between bibliometric studies and prosopographical studies of the publications of researchers from Canada, Brazil and Argentina. Unlike traditional studies based solely on traditional databases, such as Scopus or Web of Science, this project aims to mobilize new sources, such as curricular information systems or CRIS systems in each country and large aggregators such as Lens, Google Scholar, Dimensions. The importance of exploring new sources lies in knowing more fully the characteristics of researchers and their publications in all languages, overcoming the limitations pointed out by the available literature that verify the mercantile, linguistic and disciplinary biases of those databases.
