moreBibliometric indicators, based on the statistical analysis of quantitative data from scientific literature, constitute, currently, an essential tool for the study of research activity. Collaboration is a characteristic feature of modern science and it is very difficult to measure this aspect. Nevertheless, it is widely accepted to count the combined signatures done by two or more authors, with the analysis of the institutional affiliation mentions and geographical provenance of these authors. To know the peculiarities of patterns of the institutional collaboration of researchers working on issues of learning, teaching and education leadership, we have analysed the institutions where these researchers have worked. Two types of collaboration have been distinguished: national collaboration and international collaboration, using as a source of information, the communications submitted at the World Conference on Learning, Teaching and Education Leadership included in the database Web of Science. The programs used to build collaborative networks were Pajek and Ucinet.
