“…Academic conferences play an important role in creation, consolidation and dissemination of knowledge in emerging areas of research. They shape the evolution of any research area or a discipline by contributing towards building a shared understanding of domain (Lanamäki & Persson, 2016). Participation in conference is a tangible form of academic interaction with possible impact on both individual and institutional productivity.…”

“…Participation in conference is a tangible form of academic interaction with possible impact on both individual and institutional productivity. As avenues for face-to-face interactions, conferences provide researchers with opportunity to establish oneself, engage with latest research and seek collaborations with other participants for research and similar academic activities (Lanamäki & Persson, 2016). Although co-authorship is only a partial indicator of collaboration, researchers who coauthor a paper usually have same or overlapping research interests and thereby, contribute towards development of the research domain (Laudel, 2002).…”

Information and Communication Technologies for Development is an interdisciplinary area of research associated with engineering, application, and adoption of ICTs in developing regions and/or for development. The International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD) was started in 2006 with the objective to build a community of scholars and practitioners from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. In this paper, we examine the social dimension of ICTD as manifest in co-authorship ties in the papers published in conference proceedings. This research community has 1053 unique authors from 302 institutions in 55 countries. Almost 85% of 456 papers are co-authored by two or more people. Initially, the research community displayed small-world characteristics but the social network subsequently displays a distinct core-periphery structure. Further, collaborative ties among academic institutions in developing countries are comparatively less. A key implication is that institutional support is imperative to initiate and maintain collaborative research ties.
