Evolution of Mexico United Kingdom scientific collaborations

Abstract

This book presents the historical analysis of scientific collaborations between Mexico and the United Kingdom using the Web of Science database up to 2024. The overall objective of the report is to provide background information to drive a new era in the evolution of research collaboration between Mexico and the United Kingdom. The collaborative landscape has changed over time. While astronomy and particle physics were initially prolific fields, there has been a noticeable increase in the importance of Multidisciplinary Sciences and Environmental Sciences categories in recent years. This latter landscape suggests growing attention to environmental and ecological issues and emerging interest in biochemistry, molecular biology, and public health. The analysis of the article abstracts using text-mining techniques offers complementary perspectives, focusing on medical issues, risk analysis, and the appearance of COVID-19 as a relevant word.
