“…Positive associations between international collaboration and citation rates have also been found for Chilean physics (Vogel 1997), Scandinavian science (Glänzel 2000), chemistry (Glänzel and Schubert 2001), Brazilian science (Leta and Chaimovich 2002), New Zealand science (Goldfinch et al 2003), Danish industry (Frederiksen 2004), HIV/AIDS in Nigeria (Uthman 2008) and wood preservative chemical research (Yi et al 2008). In molecular biology, Ma and Guan (2006) found a correlation between collaboration and citation for Chinese molecular biology, although the earlier study of Herbertz (1995) did not find this correlation amongst well-known research institutes.…”

“…Numerous studies of collaboration (e.g., Katz and Hicks 1997;Goldfinch et al 2003;Frederiksen 2004;Yi et al 2008;Levitt and Thewall 2009) have used mean citation and several recent studies (Lewison 2007;Schwartz and Fang 2007;Levitt and Thewall 2009) have used percentiles. Some indicators, other than mean citation and percentiles, were also considered.…”

Does the higher citation of collaborative research differ from region to region? A case study of Economics

Many studies have found that collaborative research is, in general, more highly cited than non-collaborative research. This paper describes an investigation into the extent to which the association between high citation and collaboration for Economics articles published in 2000 varies from region to region and depends on the choice of indicator of citation level. Using data from the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) for 18 countries, 17 American states and four indicators of citation level the citation levels of the collaborative articles are compared with the citation levels of the non-collaborative articles. The main findings are that: (a) for every country and every indicator the mean citation level of the collaborative articles was at least as high as that for the non-collaborative articles, but for five US states and for at least one other indicator the citation level of collaborative articles was lower than that of non-collaborative articles, and (b) the extent to which collaborative articles were more highly cited varied considerably from country to country, from state to state, and from indicator to indicator. This indicates the importance of using multiple indicators when investigating citation advantage since the choice of indicator can change the results.

Collaboration is a major research policy objective, but does it deliver higher quality research? This study uses citation analysis to examine the Web of Science (WoS) Information Science & Library Science subject category (IS&LS) to ascertain whether, in general, more highly cited articles are more highly collaborative than other articles. It consists of two investigations. The first investigation is a longitudinal comparison of the degree and proportion of collaboration in five strata of citation; it found that collaboration in the highest four citation strata (all in the most highly cited 22%) increased in unison over time, whereas collaboration in the lowest citation strata (uncited articles) remained low and stable. Given that over 40% of the articles were un-cited, it seems important to take into account the differences found between un-cited articles and relatively highly cited articles when investigating collaboration in IS&LS. The second investigation compares collaboration for 35 influential information scientists; it found that their more highly cited articles on average were not more highly collaborative than their less highly cited articles. In summary, although collaborative research is conducive to high citation in general, collaboration has apparently not tended to be essential to the success of current and former elite information scientists.

“…Based on nearly half a million UK SCI publications from 1981 to 1994 (Katz & Hicks, 1997), articles by authors from two countries received, on average, about 50% more citations than articles by authors from a single country. Positive associations between international collaboration and citation rates have also been found for Scandinavian science (Glänzel, 2000), Brazilian science (Leta & Chaimovich, 2002), New Zealand science (Goldfinch, Dale, & DeRouen, 2003), and Danish industry (Frederiksen, 2004). In contrast, papers with at least one Harvard University co-author attract less citations the greater the physical distance between the affiliations (Lee, Brownstein, Mills, & Kohane, 2010), suggesting that international collaboration is ineffective for Harvard authors.…”

“…Industry also produces a substantial number of publications (e.g., Frederiksen, 2004) but since commercial organisations have profit as a primary goal it seems unlikely that many industrial scientists have authoring publications as their main objective. In contrast, although publications are important in some industries, such as pharmaceutics (Hirsch, 2009), a paper may often be produced as a side effect of commercial jobs rather than as the end result of a task.…”

Funding bodies have tended to encourage collaborative research because it is generally more highly cited than sole author research. But higher mean citation for collaborative articles does not imply collaborative researchers are in general more research productive. This article assesses the extent to which research productivity varies with the number of collaborative partners for long term researchers within three Web of Science subject areas: Information Science & Library Science, Communication and Medical Informatics. When using the whole number counting system, researchers who worked in groups of 2 or 3 were generally the most productive, in terms of producing the most papers and citations. However, when using fractional counting, researchers who worked in groups of 1 or 2 were generally the most productive. The findings need to be interpreted cautiously, however, because authors that produce few academic articles within a field may publish in other fields or leave academia and contribute to society in other ways
