Scientific research in Portugal has contributed to deepen the knowledge on malaria, a pathology responsible for 584 thousand deaths in 2013. The exploratory mapping of Portugal-affiliated papers indexed in Web of Science between 1900 and 2014 allowed characterizing scientific practices' transformations in a locus of international legitimization. This analysis revealed the growth of malaria publications, mainly after 1995; the predominance of international coauthorships; and an increasing organizational heterogeneity, significantly more pronounced in international publications. Thus, the growth of malaria research was fostered by an internationalization model responsible for an increasing intertwining of academia in political, economic, and social domains
