  The application of mathematics and statistical methods to scholarly
communication: scientometrics, has facilitated the systematic analysis of the
modern digital tide of literature. This chapter reviews three of such
applications: coauthorship, bibliographic coupling, and coword networks. It
also presents an exploratory case of study for the knowledge circulation
literature. It was found a diverse geographical production, mainly in the
Global North and Asian institutions with significant intermediation of
universities from USA, Colombia, and Japan. The research fronts identified were
related to science and medicine's history and philosophy; education, health,
policy studies; and a set of interdisciplinary topics. Finally, the knowledge
pillars were comprised of urban planning policy, economic geography, and
historical and theoretical perspectives in the Netherlands and Central Europe;
globalization and science, technology, and innovation and historical and
institutional frameworks in the UK; and cultural and learning studies in the
XXI century.
