One way to investigate the diffusion of knowledge in the field of Physics is through the intellectual production of teachers and students. Understanding the behavior of the scientific collaborations between these agents is of fundamental importance for educational institutions and different governmental spheres to direct their actions in terms of investment. The purpose of this article is to present a computational model based on Graph Theory, Network Theory, Complex Systems and Software Engineering for the construction of scientific collaboration networks. As a potential data source for these studies, there is the Lattes Platform, which is recognized by the academic medium for recording bibliographic productions. The main concepts of the computational model are: researchers responsible for the creation of bibliographic productions and the realization of the guidelines; The authors who participate in the creation of bibliographic productions; guidance; Vertices; Edges and the resulting graphs. The proposed computational model assists in the process of building networks of scientific collaboration (through social and complex network metrics) between the different levels of researchers, helping in the decision-making process of investments of educational institutions or governments in specific areas Of knowledge in physics.
