The abstract of the presentation on scientific network is the following: First, the presentation deals with the study of scientific dynamics measured through the evolution of co-publication links between urban areas at the world level. After a brief presentation of the general methodology, we see that the trends previously identified by analysing the world network of scientific collaborations -polycentrism, higher cohesion of national and macro-regional areas- have continued until the most recent years (2007-2014). Second, the main issues and challenges regarding the visualisation of international and intercity links are put under scrutiny. We focus on the complementarity between flow maps and node-links diagrams.
