“…We found that papers with international coauthorship had higher citation rates than purely domestic papers. This trend was also observed in our previous studies (Nguyen and Pham, 2011;Nguyen et al, 2017) and others (Kim, 2005;Low et al, 2014). The positive effect of international collaboration on the citation rate was likely due to IF.…”

In this study, we aimed at mapping the trend and impact of mathematics research originated from Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries by using a scientometric approach. We extracted the Web of Science's article-level data of all publications concerning mathematics research during the period of 2006-2015 for ASEAN countries. The impact of research was assessed in terms of citation, and the pattern of international collaboration was mapped by the presence of coauthorship and international affiliations. During the coverage period, ASEAN countries had published 9,890 papers in mathematics, accounting for 3.8% of total ISI-indexed publications from the region. Almost 95% of the mathematics publication was from Singapore (4,107 papers), Vietnam (2,046), Malaysia (1,927), and Thailand (1,317). Approximately 54% of mathematics papers from ASEAN countries had international coauthorship, and these papers had greater yearly citation rate than those without international collaboration. With the exception of Singapore, the citation rate for other ASEAN countries was below the world average by 8-30%. The most important predictor of citations was journal impact factor, which accounted for 5.2% of total variation in citations between papers. These findings suggest that the contribution of ASEAN countries as a group to mathematics research worldwide is modest in terms of research output and impact.

“…In Vietnam, the sheer total scientific output has increased by 17% per year, 77% of which were associated with international collaborations, with the United States and Japan being the leading collaborators [42,48]. These research collaborations were mainly led by foreign authors [42]. This remark corresponds to the modest scientific output of Vietnamese authors, given that authors who often take the leading role are likely to be more scientifically prolific, and such authors are few in number in Vietnam [43].…”

“…This remark corresponds to the modest scientific output of Vietnamese authors, given that authors who often take the leading role are likely to be more scientifically prolific, and such authors are few in number in Vietnam [43]. Papers with an overseas corresponding author also had higher citation rates than papers with a domestic corresponding author [42], meaning that foreign research workers were more appreciated, both qualitatively and quantitatively.…”

“…This argument is further complemented by Lee and Bozeman, who explained that collaboration strategies had a significant, positive effect on scientific output [5]. Moreover, there is evidence that a lack of collaboration in research was correlated to significant gender inequalities in scientific publishing [6], in the sense that female scientists collaborated less frequently with others, and also had of academic qualities on the part of Vietnamese authors [42][43][44]. On the other hand, there seems to be a certain connection between the experiences of being a key author and being a solo author.…”

"Nemo solus satis sapit"-no one can be wise enough on his own. This is particularly true when it comes to collaborations in scientific research. Concerns over this issue in Vietnam, a developing country with limited academic resources, led to an in-depth study on Vietnamese social science research, using Google Scholar and Scopus, during 2008-2017. The results showed that more than 90% of scientists had worked with colleagues to publish, and they had collaborated 13 times on average during the time limit of the data sample. These collaborations, both domestic and international, mildly boosted author performance. On the other hand, the modest number of publications by Vietnamese authors was reportedly linked to Vietnamese social scientists' heavy reliance on collaborative work as non-leading co-authors: for an entire decade (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017), the average author assumes the leading role merely in two articles, and hardly ever published alone. This implies that policy-makers ought to consider promoting institutional collaborations while also encouraging authors to acquire the experience of publishing solo.
