ABSTRACT Collaboration has become an indispensable practice for the advancement of science. This article has as an objective to analyze the institutional collaboration networks between Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. With a multidisciplinary vision, it considers the scientific production on collective intelligence reported in Web of Science from the beginning of the database until July 2019. The analysis allows identifying the theoretical perspectives through which the research on collective intelligence revolves, the positions of the countries and their hierarchy in the whole, as well as the structure of the collaboration network between the countries in the area. The discussion addresses the review of results to understand the characteristics of academic production. The results show an outstanding rate of collaboration. However, the scientific community is not very cohesive. The conclusions contribute to the understanding of the scientific production on collective intelligence and provide valuable information to strengthen the bonds of scientific cooperation in the region.
