“…In this regard, several authors have indicated that scientific mobility flows could be a factor influencing international collaboration patterns (e.g. Furukawa et al, 2011;Jonkers and Cruz-Castro, 2013;Jonkers and Tijssen, 2008;Murakami, 2014;Scellato et al, 2015).…”

Proximity dimensions and scientific collaboration among academic institutions in Europe: The closer, the better?

ABSTRACT:The main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of various proximity dimensions (geographical, cognitive, institutional, organizational, social and economic) on academic scientific collaborations (SC). The data to capture SC consists of a set of co-authored articles published between 2006 and 2010 by universities located in EU-15, indexed by the Science Citation Index (SCI Expanded) of the ISI Web of Science database. We link this data to institution-level information provided by the EUMIDA dataset. Our final sample consists of 240,495 co-authored articles from 690 European universities that featured in both datasets. Additionally, we also retrieved data on regional R&D funding from Eurostat. Based on the gravital equation, we estimate several econometrics models using aggregated data from all disciplines as well as separated data for Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Life Sciences and Physics & Astronomy. Our results provide evidence on the substantial role of geographical, cognitive, institutional, social and economic distance in shaping scientific collaboration, while the effect of organizational proximity seems to be weaker. Some differences on the relevance of these factors arise at discipline level.

“…In a recent study, Jonkers and Cruz-Castro (2013) explored this effect for a sample of Argentinian researchers with foreign work experience. When returning home, these researchers show a higher propensity to co-publish with their former host country than with other countries.…”

“…Hence, the positive effects of internationalization on performance may not reflect, or only partially, the alleged benefits from international collaboration as such. We have highlighted some recent attempts to deal with self-selection in the case of international mobility (Jonkers & Cruz-Castro, 2013) and international collaboration (Kato & Ando, 2013). Obviously, more research in this direction is welcome.…”

“…Although we identified a number of papers (e.g. Jonkers & Cruz-Castro, 2013;Trippl, 2013) dealing with the topic, the total number of papers is relatively low and most papers focus on theoretical rather than empirical questions. One of the reasons for this state of affairs is the known difficulty in disambiguating author names purely based on information derived from scientific publications.…”

Spatial Scientometrics and Scholarly Impact: A Review of Recent Studies, Tools, and Methods

Measuring Scholarly Impact

Previously, we proposed a research program to analyze spatial aspects of the science system which we called "spatial scientometrics" (Frenken, Hardeman, & Hoekman, 2009). The aim of this chapter is to systematically review recent (post-2008) contributions to spatial scientometrics on the basis of a standardized literature search. We focus our review on contributions addressing spatial aspects of scholarly impact, particularly, the spatial distribution of publication and citation impact, and the effect of spatial biases in collaboration and mobility on citation impact. We also discuss recent dedicated tools and methods for analysis and visualization of spatial scientometric data. We end with reflections about future research avenues.

“…The impact of their patents is higher in comparison to inventors hired from other Indian organisations. Jonkers and Cruz-Castro (2013) examine the collaboration patterns and outputs upon return of the Argentinean returnee scholars, and find the overseas experience indeed increases the propensity to publish in journals with a higher impact. A big proportion of such publications are made without having international coauthorship.…”

In recent years, a growing number of overseas Chinese students and immigrants return to China to take advantage of the development opportunities by engaging business. Their roles in business receive increasing attention from policy makers, the media and scholars. This chapter intends to provide a review of the relevant literature. We note that returnees have started playing an important role in the society since 1840s. Returnees contribute to the modern business through facilitating knowledge transfer, increasing innovation, boosting productivity and ensuring economic growth. The evidence from other countries and the disadvantages of returnees are also discussed.
