Impelling research productivity and impact through collaboration: a scientometric case study of knowledge management

Abstract

A case study for impelling university research productivity and impact through collaboration is presented. Scientometric results support the hypothesis that a knowledge management model increased research collaboration and thereby boosted a university's number of publications and citations. Results come from fifteen years of data at a Mexican university with 2400 researchers who produced 24,000 works in fifteen research disciplines. These data are treated with social network visualizations and algorithms to identify patterns of collaboration and clustering, as well as with normalizations to make disciplines comparable and to verify increasing citation impact. The knowledge management model implemented in the study may be a costeffective way for universities to intensify collaboration and improve research performance.

Evaluating the scientific performance of institutions within the university: An example from the University of Belgrade leading institutions

“…Researchers often emphasize the importance of presenting the results of collaboration patterns [40][41][42] within a particular university as a network. 43 It is possible to visualize 44,45 this network through a graph with the nodes' sizes representing the average value of indicator average journal impact factor percentile of papers produced by institutions and the edges' widths representing the numbers of papers produced in collaboration (Fig.…”

Network centrality analysis in management and accounting sciences

“…Brazilian regions were included in the model due to the geographical specificities of the scientific production reported in the literature. By distinguishing the most central nodes from the least central ones, we estimated the probability of the variables being associated with a node with strong centrality according to the specification of Cameron and Trivedi (2009):…”

Creating collaborative capacity in early career research writers

“…The Framework was developed through an ongoing process of reviewing and analysing the literature (Ceballos, Galeano, Juarez & Cantu-Ortiz 2017;Pare 2019;Ratten, Braga & Marques 2018), reflection on collaborative research experiences between co-authors and discussions using the Framework in a range of contexts including conferences, workshops and seminars (Gasson & Bruce 2019). A suite of resources, based on the Framework, have been developed to support the delivery of workshop and seminar offerings.…”
