description: Scientific cooperation is about collaboration between researchers based on collaborative work. In the field of health, this collaboration has been used in international research, through partnerships, networks and consortia, as a strategy to obtain and implement research funding and collective knowledge construction in response to public health emergencies and to contribute to advancement in care and in meeting health needs in different contexts and countries (1-2). For Uhlmann and collaborators (3), this type of work can provide benefits such as: potential for higher impact research, increase in material and human resources, facing problems of greater magnitude, peer review of research results and products, methods of more robust research, as well as the democratization of science, especially in the area of ​​health. Since collaborative work in research can contribute to the advancement of care and meeting the health needs of the population in different contexts and countries. Other researchers point out that collaboration promotes the strengthening of research through the mutual involvement between institutional leaders and researchers, improving the health of the population and expanding local research, which provides opportunities for the expansion of knowledge, professional growth and contributes to national scientific development. and international (4-5) In Brazil, as well as in other developing countries, scientific cooperation has been carried out through collaborative networks intermediated by funding entities/companies mainly from the most developed countries and universities with interest and potential for research. In this context, the Graduate Program in Nursing plays an important role in promoting scientific cooperation, nationally and internationally, as it favors the creation of collaborative networks and contributes to the creation and consolidation of lines of research, configuring itself as a space for the exchange of knowledge. knowledge in the area of ​​nursing (6). However, with regard to the scientific collaboration network within the scope of Brazilian nursing, although it has undergone an increase in research, it still needs to advance. The developed countries are located at the center of the global scientific collaboration network (7). Thus, although scientific cooperation between researchers is presented as a simple and promising process, there are challenges to be overcome. Horwood et al. (8) point out that the English language as a universal language represents a limiting factor for international cooperation, especially in developing countries. The authors emphasize that its use allows greater participation in the scientific community, based on internationalization and collaborative work, but favors, mainly, institutions from developed countries, with greater progress in scientific research. Thus, it is necessary to develop research that addresses international scientific cooperation in Graduate Nursing Programs in Brazil, in addition to exploring how the collaborative network is established in the country, to encourage and discuss improvement strategies that enable the advancement of research and international collaboration networks, consolidating Postgraduate Nursing programs and even enabling the increase of evidence-based practices. Thus, the present study aims to map the evidence on the international cooperation of researchers from Graduate Nursing Programs in the global context.
