The Impact of International Research Collaboration Network Evolution on Chinese Business School Research Quality

Abstract

The University of Texas at Dallas has proposed 24 top journals (UTD24) covering all areas related to management. UTD24 are currently the most authoritative management journals. Institutions or research scholars who have published papers in these journals are considered to have a high academic level. This study uses the paper quality published by an institution in the UTD24 journals to indicate the research quality of this institution and takes the papers published by Chinese Business School in the UTD24 journals from 2000 to 2018 as the research object. By analyzing the staged evolution process and the research hotspot of international research collaboration network (IRC network) of Chinese Business School, this paper summarizes and analyzes the factors that influence the quality of papers published by Chinese Business School in UTD24 journals: degree centrality of an institution, betweenness centrality of an institution, the degree of attention of an institution, the degree of novelty of an institution, and the number of countries cooperating with the institution. This paper divides paper quality into two parts: the total number of papers and citations per paper of an institution. Among them, degree centrality and betweenness centrality of the institution have a significant positive impact on the total number of papers of the institution. The degree of attention and the number of countries cooperating with the institution have a significant positive impact on citations per paper, and the degree of novelty has a significant negative impact on citations per paper.

Factors related to the international research collaboration in the health area: A qualitative study

“…Furthermore, the personality traits of the researcher, including being interested in IRC, being committed to responsibilities, and being collaborative, can have a promising effect on IRC. [ 1 7 12 23 ] Besides, another personality factor found in the current study was self-confidence that was not investigated in previous studies. To the best of our knowledge, researchers should be committed to following professional ethics and must be respectful to other researchers' beliefs during collaborative researches.…”

“…[ 5 ] Therefore, the geographical and political borders have faded due to huge daily improvements in information and communication technologies,[ 6 ] and international scientific collaboration has gradually become the main topic in research-related international policy. [ 7 ]…”

“…Nowadays, international scientific collaboration has expended through collaborative research, scientific conferences, and international journals,[ 8 ] and many countries internationalize their scientific communication to increase their international research collaboration (IRC). [ 9 ] Since IRC can contribute to generating innovative solutions for increasing globalized problems[ 10 ] and improve the competitiveness of individual scientific research,[ 7 ] it is seen as one of the important tools to build research capacity and create learning opportunities for researchers that governments and international organizations allocate them significant properties to promote international research activities.

Microbial keratinase and the bio-economy: a three-decade meta-analysis of research exploit

“…This partnership promoted the distribution of these keratinase-based formulations in the Asian market which attracted significant revenues (Potera 2013 ). Therefore, scientific collaboration of researchers in a particular research domain ensures expansion of knowledge base and promotes sustainable growth and development of that field (Fang et al 2020 ). Funding bodies especially government agencies strictly facilitate collaboration as one of the formal contractual agreements during grant awards (Lee and Bozeman 2005 ), as it brings about cross-pollination of ideas that would enhance productivity and innovation.…”

Análisis del impacto de la colaboración internacional en el área de estudios empresariales

“…En el caso concreto de los estudios empresariales, en Fang et al (2020) se presenta un estudio muy completo sobre las escuelas de negocios chinas, a partir de sus artículos publicados en un grupo de revistas. También se demostró el impacto positivo del número de países que colaboran con la institución.…”
