Abstract

The revolution of the information, processing and communication technologies created the possibility to instantly communicate as never before: sending information, sounds and ideas. This perspective has been used by several parts of the society with several goals like propagation of knowledge and others. The creation of scientific knowledge without the geographical barriers, are well understood as strong mechanism to overcome inequalities. Among these questions, this article has the following goals: study how important the geographic proximity inside the scientific research is when using all the network communication technologies available. To achieve this goal, we will use a theoretical thinking about the subject with the use of Pharmacology research relationship network inside the state of Pernambuco, using questionnaires with the researchers in order to build a communication flow between them. The results pointed out the matter of “being here” as the most efficient element in the instant communication in order to exchange information in the scientific research.
