“…A temática da internacionalização do ensino e pesquisa é amplamente debatida na área de conhecimento da Educação por diversos aspectos. Entre eles estão comparação do desempenho acadêmico entre países (Bentley & Kyvik, 2013;Kwiek, 2016), a mobilidade acadêmica de estudantes e professores, a publicação científica internacional como disseminação e transferência de conhecimento, a colaboração internacional em pesquisa (Knight, 2007;Rostan, Ceravolo, & Metcalfe, 2014), além de discussões sobre a produtividade acadêmica (Shin & Cummings, 2010).…”

Resumo A internacionalização está se tornando cada vez mais importante para a academia brasileira e para a área de Administração em particular. Para entendermos quais práticas institucionais influenciam a inserção internacional de nossos pesquisadores, analisamos 172 questionários com dados de pesquisadores de 17 estados em Programas de Pós-Graduação nas mais importantes instituições do país. Apesar da coleta concentrada num segmento específico da área de Administração, pesquisadores em Administração de Informação (ADI), os resultados obtidos ilustram o comportamento de toda a área, pois este segmento está sujeito aos mesmos programas de incentivo que seus colegas de outras sub-áreas. Para esses pesquisadores, doutorado no exterior, completo ou sanduíche, é o principal elemento que explica a possibilidade de publicação internacional. O resultado do estudo apresentado neste artigo também aponta que que os pesquisadores não têm acesso aos mecanismos de incentivo considerados mais relevantes para atingir um maior nível de internacionalização. A partir da análise dos dados, é possível notar que esses respondentes entendem que os modelos de incentivos existentes em suas instituições precisam de ajustes para melhor incluir o país no sistema global de inovação.

“…Research on international collaborative research in the field of Higher Education intersects with the science studies literature to a large extent regarding these themes and through its (often) bibliometric approach. Additionally, it provides very valuable insights on the influence of national and supranational policies on international collaborative research (e.g., Slipersæter & Aksnes, ; Smeby & Gornitzka, ; Smeby & Trondal, ) as well as insights on causal relationships and explanatory factors that influence research collaboration on the individual, institutional and national level (e.g., Kwiek, ; Kyvik & Aksnes, ; Rostan & Ceravolo, ; Rostan et al, ). What is mostly missing in both fields are analyses that systematically provide insight into the micro‐level and collaborative research practice of international research teams—whether comparative or non‐comparative (for exceptions, see, e.g., Jeong et al, ; Rambur, ; Shore & Groen, ; Ulnicane, ).…”

“…International collaborative research is also considered to be beneficial because it is associated with higher levels of research productivity as well as visibility, impact and reputation. Moreover, it enables researchers to expand their networks, and thus to gain access to additional funding sources (Abramo, D'Angelo, & Di Costa, ; Kwiek, ; Kyvik & Larsen, ; Lee & Bozemann, ; Persson, Glänzel, & Danell, ; Rostan, Ceravolo, & Metcalfe, ; Wuchty, Jones, & Uzzi, ). On the other hand, it is spurred by cost‐effective and fast worldwide travel opportunities, as well as new information and communication technologies (ICT), which allow research teams that are geographically spread over continents and time zones to work together.…”

A two‐sided medal: On the complexity of international comparative and collaborative team research

In recent years, more and more international comparative research has been conducted in internationally and geographically spread project teams and international research networks, and comparative research has become a fundamentally collaborative effort. Accordingly, research in such projects has to cope with a higher level of methodological complexity than non‐comparative research as well as with a particular sociocultural complexity. This complexity can have an influence on the research process and therefore on the quality and validity of the results, an issue that has so far not been discussed much, either in Higher Education research or beyond. Thus, this article refers to studies that provide empirical insights into comparative collaborative research teams and illuminates why international collaboration in comparative research projects is both a source of better solutions and of amplified complications and how they are interrelated. On this basis it provides a conceptual reflection and delineates dimensions of task‐related, methodological complexity and team diversity. While comparative research has specific methodological challenges that can be alleviated by international team collaboration, collaborative research has particular social challenges that can be aggravated in comparative research. The conclusion makes propositions for further analyses, discusses lessons for comparative Higher Education research and sets out implications for its institutional development.

“…Moreover, they pertain to two different dimensions of academic internationalisation. Differences in international collaboration have been investigated looking at the impact on it of research characteristics and controlling for several other factors (Rostan et al 2014b). On the one hand, the disciplinary field within which research efforts are undertaken, and research emphasis, whether basic/theoretical or applied/ practically-oriented, or a combination of the two, have been considered.…”

Scope of the seriesThe landscape of higher education has in recent years undergone significant change. This has been particular the case for research training, academic life, employment, working conditions and entrepreneurial activities of universities around the globe. The academy is expected to be more professional in teaching, more productive in research and more entrepreneurial in everything. Some of the changes involved have raised questions about the attractiveness of an academic career for today's graduates. At the same time, knowledge has come to be identified as the most vital resource of contemporary societies.The Changing Academy series examines the nature and extent of the changes experienced by the academic profession. It aims to address these changes from an international comparative perspective, focusing at both the higher education system level as well as the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in particular. It explores both the reasons for and the consequences of these changes.The series considers the implications of the changes for the attractiveness of the academic profession as a career and for the ability of the academic community to contribute to the further development of knowledge societies and the attainment of national goals. It provides analyses on these matters drawing initially on available data-sets and qualitative research studies with special emphasis on the international studies of the Changing Academic Profession and the national surveys in STEM fields. Among the themes featured will be:
