“…In fact, authors in Vietnam must have intuitively known this, considering how they were generally inclined towards collaborative work, so much so that co-authored papers accounted for a vast majority (83.7%) of publications by Vietnamese social scientists. This result was in line with earlier findings regarding the role of collaborations in boosting productivity [5,14,22,29,30], such as the positive correlation of the number of collaborators and scientific output with an estimate coefficient β = 0.26 (p < 0.001) [5]. Investigations also showed that the number of times an author collaborates was positively related to the number of publications, with a coefficient of correlation being 0.71 (p < 0.001).…”

"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.

“…He (2009) showed how in the case of China this collaboration does not necessarily foster the impact of these publications, which would show other factors such as currents of thinking (main stream) or the interest in social scientific topics as possible mechanisms that stimulate collaboration. However, Bordons et al (1996) showed how in the area of biology different patterns of collaboration can exist. In this regard, it is noted that the most productive authors do not always have the same patterns of collaboration (Bordons et al, 1996).…”

The phenomenon of collaboration is an increasing trend in many fields of science, including that of psychology. In Iberoamerican psychology, collaboration occurs on a local and international level. The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of collaboration in Iberoamerica, using as a baseline the level of worldwide collaboration in psychology in 2012. We collected data from the Scopus database and analyzed it by cluster distribution. Analysis of the sample found within-country collaboration prominent among Iberoamerican psychologists. Findings indicated that in Iberoamerica there is significantly less global collaboration than in other regions, although Iberoamerican scientists are receptive to the idea and acknowledge its potential. Keywords: Scientific production, psychology, collaboration, Iberoamerica Resumo O fenômeno da colaboração é uma tendência em crescimento em muitos campos da ciência, incluindo a psicologia. Na psicologia ibero-americana a colaboração vem ocorrendo em nível regional e internacional. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar níveis de colaboração em Ibero-América, usando como linha de base o nível de colaboração mundial em psicologia nos anos de 2012. Os dados foram coletados da base Scopus e analisado pela distribuição de dados segundo seu grau de agrupamento (cluster). A análise mostrou que a colaboração entre ibero-americanos é maior dentro dos respectivos países e menor em nível global. Mesmo assim, destaque-se que cientistas ibero-americanos são receptivos a ideia de internacionalização e reconheçam seu potencial.

“…An investigation of Spanish Gastroenterology, Cardiovascular Systems and Neuroscience SCI articles published between 1991 and 1993 found that international collaboration helped Spanish researchers to publish in higher impact journals (Bordons, Gomez, Fernandez, Zulueta & Mendez, 1996) and thus, presumably, to attract more citations. Similarly, an investigation of chemistry papers published in 1995 found that for 33 of the 36 countries, international collaborative papers were, on average, more highly cited than non-international collaborative papers (Glänzel & Schubert, 2001).…”

Long term productivity and collaboration in information science

Funding bodies have tended to encourage collaborative research because it is generally more highly cited than sole author research. But higher mean citation for collaborative articles does not imply collaborative researchers are in general more research productive. This article assesses the extent to which research productivity varies with the number of collaborative partners for long term researchers within three Web of Science subject areas: Information Science & Library Science, Communication and Medical Informatics. When using the whole number counting system, researchers who worked in groups of 2 or 3 were generally the most productive, in terms of producing the most papers and citations. However, when using fractional counting, researchers who worked in groups of 1 or 2 were generally the most productive. The findings need to be interpreted cautiously, however, because authors that produce few academic articles within a field may publish in other fields or leave academia and contribute to society in other ways
