Abstract—In recent decades, the Innovation System (IS)
approach has generated attention and has been adopted as an
analytical framework for studying innovation processes; this
has been reflected in the large increase and constant growth of
its scientific literature. However, few studies have been oriented
to analyze it, which is of interest to understand the development
and current state of research on the subject; and even fewer are
those oriented to study the interaction activity that occurs in the
flow and diffusion of knowledge. In response, this work
performs a bibliometric analysis and mapping to explore the
interaction activities between the countries involved in the
production of literature, considering 7,605 documents retrieved
from the Scopus database. The results of this work may be
useful for several reasons, among them, to establish the
organizational structure of countries in IS literature and its
evolution, as well as to identify some effects regarding
interaction activity on research.
