“…At its core, TST promotes an interdisciplinary research approach, acknowledging that multifaceted issues demand a comprehensive understanding that can only be achieved by combining knowledge and skills from different domains (Knapke et al, 2021). This holistic perspective encourages researchers to look beyond the boundaries of their disciplines and consider the interconnected factors influencing a given phenomenon.…”

The perception of interdisciplinary research collaboration (PIRC) scale is a meticulously developed and validated tool comprising 64 items, crafted through concept analysis, content validity procedures, and expert panel refinement. Pilot testing involved 1,932 academic staff members from six universities in South-South Nigeria, revealing six dimensions: “challenges of IDR collaboration,” “IDR collaborative experiences,” “motivations for IDR collaboration,” “benefits of IDR collaboration,” “career impact of IDR collaboration,” and “IDR team dynamics.” Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed this structure, establishing strong convergent and discriminant validity. Reliability analysis indicated high internal consistency, making the PIRC scale a precise instrument for assessing interdisciplinary research collaboration. Its use enables stakeholders to understand researchers' perceptions, enhance collaboration, allocate resources efficiently, and foster innovation.

“…9,19 Many promotion, tenure, and grant systems still evaluate the contributions of individuals by their position in the author byline. 20,21 These systems may introduce pressures that distort authentic collaborative approaches to research and the creation of written scholarship. 9,19 These systems, furthermore, may discourage people who are early- and midcareer from contributing to work that may not yield a first-author position.…”

In the contemporary science and higher education system, national and supranational governments fund and foster universities to collaborate through specific funding lines and competition in World University Rankings, making it indispensable for universities to demonstrate collaboration at the organizational level. Thus, universities strive to encourage their scientific members to collaborate – and to different degrees – facilitate forms of collaboration. Questions on how universities as organizations influence academic research collaboration arise. To go beyond the existing literature, this study firstly develops an analytical two-dimensional framework organizing the literature on four levels of investigation (meta, macro, meso, micro). Based on this framework, the paper presents a literature review of the current state of the art in academic research collaboration. Secondly, the paper establishes a research agenda by synthesizing organizational influences found as organizational characteristics, management strategies, and organizational culture and presents three research avenues for future research. The paper concludes that we have only just begun to study the organizational influences of universities (especially the organizational culture) on academic research collaboration and how these organizational categories are interrelated.
