Abstract
This article considers the role of domestic knowledge
capabilities for developing countries and emerging
economies, and in particular in the build-up of their
national systems of innovation. Using bibliometric
methods, we describe the geographic sources of knowledge
and the users of Brazilian research in 2005-2009, and
analyze the roles of domestic and foreign knowledge bases
in it. Our results suggest that increasing reliance on
domestic sources of knowledge is a feature of Brazil's
improved science and technology capabilities. The
ascendancy of Brazil's research informs us about the
unfolding re-organization of global research, too,
underlining nascent South-South knowledge flows, the
prevailing relevance of EU research, and the relative
decline of US research for Brazilian knowledge creation.
