“…Since 2015, Ecuador has shown the highest growth in scientific production compared to the rest of Latin American countries [294]. These publications resulted from close collaboration with foreign researchers and universities that allowed them to participate in international research projects, doctorate training for Ecuadorian teachers, recruitment of foreign researchers through the Prometheus Project [23,295,296], and priority attention to areas of national interest and plans for ancestral knowledge management [294]. International collaboration has focused on Spain, the United States, and some South American countries (see Figure 8).…”

Ecuador has shown a growth in its scientific production since 2011, representing 85% of the total historical production. These investigations are reflected in scientific publications, which address world interest topics and serve as a link for the university, business, and society. This work aims to analyze the scientific production generated by Ecuador in the period of 1920–2020 using bibliometric methods to evaluate its intellectual structure and performance. The methodology applied in this study includes: (i) terms definition and search criteria; (ii) database selection, initial search, and document compilation; (iii) data extraction and software selection; and finally, (iv) analysis of results. The results show that scientific production has been consolidated in 30,205 documents, developed in 27 subject areas, in 13 languages under the contribution of 84 countries. This intellectual structure is in harmony with the global context when presenting research topics related to “Biology and regional climate change”, “Higher education and its various approaches”, “Technology and Computer Science”, “Medicine”, “Energy, food and water”, and ”Development and applications on the Web”. Topics framed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sustainability, climate change, and others. This study contributes to the academic community, considering current re-search issues and global concerns, the collaboration between universities and countries that allow establishing future collaboration links.

“…As a result, several researchers and practitioners have expressed an interest in investigating the factors that influence research publication in HEI (Heng, Hamid, & Khan, 2020), whereas a number of these factors have been identified including individual characteristics of the researcher, institutional factors, governance factors as well as accumulative advantage (Valdivieso, Alecchi, & Arévalo-Avecillas, 2022; Truong et al ., 2021; Niles, Schimanski, McKiernan, & Alperin, 2020). However, prior literature focused mainly in developed context with limited studies relating to the developing context (Castillo & Powell, 2020; Heng et al ., 2020; Ismayilova & Klassen, 2019).…”

PurposeThe major purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of openness to change on research publication in higher education institutions (HEI) in Tanzania.Design/methodology/approachWith a sample of 247 academics, a cross-sectional survey design was used and questionnaires were the primary data collection tool. The collected data were tested using mean and standard deviations, and the causal–effect relationship between the independent and dependent variables was tested using simple linear regression.FindingsThe findings of this study revealed that openness to change positively and significantly influence research publication in higher education (β = 0.598 and p < 0.001).Practical implicationsThe study recommends that HEI should consider openness to change value as one among criteria for hiring academics as well as developing good programs that will help academics develop the academics' self-awareness with regard to what takes for one to be a productive researcher.Originality/valueThis is the first study to examine the influence of openness to change as a personal value on academics’ research publication in Tanzanian HEI. In this instance, the study contributes to the existing literature on the influence of academics' personal values in terms of openness to change on research publication.

“…However, most previous studies only explored these factors partially and unstructured, making it difficult to identify and analyze managerial implication. For instance, the comparative research by Valdivieso et al, (2021) conducted in several Latin American countries only reviewed individual and environmental characteristics on research performance. In the individual-level framework, Valdivieso et al, (2021) dismissed several vital variables such as competence and work motivation.…”

In contrast, Zhao et al, (2021) only examined institutional and environmental factors but missed individual variables, which are critically important to be reviewed simultaneously.…”

Integrating two different systems between higher education and pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), Pesantren-based Higher Education (PTBP) is alleged as an ideal Islamic higher education model considering its critical role in the process of integration-interconnection of science and Islamic teaching. Like other Islamic higher educations in Indonesia, PTBP represents poor organizational performance, particularly in research productivity and quality. Since research performance has the most considerable portion in the higher education performance evaluation both nationally and internationally, this study attempted to explore the factors that possibly improve lecturers' research performance at PTBP, categorized into the level of the individual, institutional and resource factors. This study involved 84 lecturers at 7 PTBP in Bogor, Indonesia, selected based on the stratified random sampling and voluntary sampling method. The collected data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that only research competence positively affected research performance at the individual level, but not for work motivation and time management. Research culture and academic leadership insignificantly affected research performance. However, only high-performance work practice (HPWP) at the institutional level positively affected research performance. Meanwhile, collaboration networks at the resource level positively affected research performance, but not for university research funding. The managerial implications are further discussed in this study.
