“…He produced evidence to support Smith's observation that For decades the multiple-author publication, frequently referred to as a co-authored publication, has been used as a basic counting unit to measure collaborative activity. Smith was one of the first researchers to observe an increase in the incidence of multiple-authorship has been increasing [58], 4 a trend since confirmed by several other investigators [1][2][3][4]40,42] 5. However, such studies have also shown that the rate of increase in multiple-authorship has varied considerably with subject area [40,61], and in a few cases (e.g., biomedicine [7]) there seems to have been no significant growth.…”

“…There is general consensus that the observed growth in multiple-authorship is evidence of an increase in collaboration [2][3][4]7,16,40]. However, the assumption that multiple-authorship and collaboration are synonymous must be qualified with the recognition that in some instances not all those named on a paper are responsible for the work and should not share the credit accorded to it.…”

“…598-599. Later evidence has supported this finding and now it is generally accepted that experimentalists tend to collaborate more than theoreticians [18,40,58]. Collaboration is particularly common in experimental research involving the use of large or complex instrumentation such as telescopes, particle accelerators or CT scanners [45,58].…”

“…The countries with highest publication counts in IEE T Educ include USA (54.58%), Spain (5.87%), UK (4.44%), Canada (4.27%) and Australia (2.18%). c) The institutes with most number of articles in this journal are: Georgia Institute of Technology (49), US Department of Defense (49), California State University System (45), University of California System (45) and Florida State University System (37). Since the IEEE T Educ dataset spans 49 years so it has been divided into decades; except for the last time span which is only 9 years, i.e.…”

Abstract-In this paper, Engineering Education as a discipline has been analyzed by taking IEEE Transactions on Education (IEEE T Educ) as a case; for examining the various trends that have been emerging over time. Based on various criteria of authorship and citation, an effort is made to highlight the main contributors or top authors of this engineering education community. It was found that authorship trends have been shifting more towards collaboration. It was also found that the authorship community is growing, both in terms of publications and publishing authors. Study of citation patterns during the last decade, reveals a high citation count per article, which indicates a high readership of this journal. Later, the study of authorship and citation patterns shed light on the trend that multi-author articles are cited more often than single-author articles. This study was compared with earlier studies in the field of Engineering Education Research (EER) using keyword analysis and temporal evolution and distribution of keywords. Additionally key-phrase and topic modeling was performed to identify leading and evolving research areas within the EER., Analysis of word co-occurrence was performed to discover the main context in which the keywords have been used. Lastly, topic modeling techniques were applied for probabilistic distributions of IEEE topics and the results were in line with earlier studies.

“…Researchers collaborate with each other for various reasons. This can be to improve their visibility and recognition (Narin et al 1991), to utilise expensive equipment that is not under their control (Meadows and O'Connor 1971;Schubert and Sooryamoorthy 2010), or to acquire expertise and new ideas (Beaver and Rosen 1978) needed for research.…”

Research emphasis and collaboration in Africa

Scientific co-authorship of African researchers has become a fashionable topic in the recent scientometric literature. Researchers are investigating the effects, modes, dynamics and motives of collaboration in a continental research system which is in an embryonic stage and in different stages of development from country to country. In this article we attempt to provide some additional evidence by examining both patterns of collaboration at country and continental levels and the scientific disciplines emphasised. Our findings indicate that the continent's research emphasises medical and natural resources disciplines to the detriment of disciplines supporting knowledge based economies and societies. Furthermore, we identify that the collaborative patterns in Africa are substantial higher than in the rest of the world. A number of questions related to research collaboration and its effects are raised.
