Abstract
The theme that deals with clusters have been discussed incessantly by the academic community. However, despite not being a new issue, it is an issue that needs a broad engagement for its full development. In this context, the general objective of this research is to analyze the state of the art of scientific production on clusters in countries that make up South America, according to the Scopus platform. Based on the principles of social network analysis, the textual corpus available in the context of the terms Cluster OR “Industrial District” OR NOT “Cluster Analysis” from the survey of 300 articles in databases and through the application of selection filters were explored. 150 articles we extracted for the corpus of this research. To data compile, the following softwares we used: HistCiteTM, VOSviewer, Gephi and Iramuteq. The textual analysis modality of the research corpus associated with metric studies was adopted to contextualize the indicators related to production. As a result of this study, a research elite in South America composed of 19 authors, 5 thematic communities called Performance, Cooperation, Innovation, Market and Resources, 31 bibliographic couplings, Brazil as the country that publishes the most articles in the area with 101 documents.
