“…National academic systems and disciplines differ in their openness to such mobility. There are both barriers to (e.g., immigration policy, lack of study leave and travel grants) and facilitators (e.g., financial support through scholarship, integration of visitors) of mobility that contribute to original research (Orazbayev 2017).…”

Originality is an important goal of research. However, relatively little is known about the characteristics and motivations of individual researchers or about the facilitating or hindering factors that, in combination, can lead to original research outputs. This is a gap this study aims to fill. Interviews with 20 highly original academics (identified by their peers) active in the field of tourism identify four shared main traits among such researchers—nonconformism, commitment, self-confidence, and interdisciplinarity—and the importance of situational factors. The findings also show that there is no single optimum way of “becoming original” and, therefore, efforts to “replicate” originality may constrain rather than enable originality. From a managerial perspective, this suggests that it is easier to remove barriers than to positively facilitate original research.

“…mentors or business contacts) nature (Fernández-Pérez et al 2015). Travels abroad allow for face-toface meetings and interactions (Urry 2002;Bienkowska et al 2011) and bring along investments of effort, time and money, which result in international interpersonal relationships and networks (Bienkowska and Klofsten 2012;Orazbayev 2017). Through social networks, international mobility then influences individual knowledge (Cañibano et al 2008).…”

Temporary international mobility is an increasingly relevant practice amongst academics. However, current literature lacks understanding on whether such mobility influences the individual academics’ entrepreneurial knowledge. This paper hypothesizes that temporary international academic mobility is conducive to the academic’s entrepreneurial knowledge and that interpersonal social networks play a crucial role in the transfer of this knowledge through their strength and size properties. We perform a Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Model and build upon an original survey data set collected amongst 281 Chinese academics. We find that the size of one’s interpersonal social network fully mediates the relationship between international academic mobility and entrepreneurial knowledge. This result points to the importance of a structurally broad - rather than a relationally strong - international social network in the academic’s accumulation of entrepreneurial knowledge abroad.

“…In contrast, in papers where coauthors have a similar knowledge base and skill set to the lead author, knowledge transfer may be more likely. Thus, in testing the knowledge-based resource theory, we will analyze the barriers in knowledge transfer in a hierarchy of knowledge (Grant & Baden-Fuller, 2004;Khanna et al, 1988;Orazbayev, 2017).…”

Based on the knowledge‐based resource theory of alliance, we analyze coauthorship collaboration. We find that (1) collaboration increases the impact of published articles; (2) articles with nonalphabetical author listing are associated with fewer citations; and (3) barriers to transferring knowledge lowers an article's impact, especially if authors do not take ownership over the article. Coauthors who do not act as if they were senior authors undermine coauthorship collaboration, resulting in lower citations on the article. Our results suggest that articles with alphabetical author listing receive more citations, questioning the norm in journals of some disciplines that advocate nonalphabetical author listing.
