Analyses of scientific collaboration networks have been widely explored in researches within different knowledge fields for quite some time, taking into account its ability to identify how groups of researchers are performing their work collectively. These studies make it possible to identify how collaboration occurs between individuals through investigations based on social network metrics. In this paper, at first, a general characterization of the analyzed data is presented, and afterward, a temporal analysis of the Brazilian PhDs scientific collaboration network with registered curricula in the Lattes Platform is conducted. For this purpose, all their scientific publications were used for the identification and characterization of the collaboration networks. As a result, it is possible to visualize how the scientific collaboration of the analyzed set was intensified over the years, highlighting the areas of activity of each Brazilian PhD.
