“…Many studies (Clark, & Lewis, 1985;Golden et al, 1986;Graves, Marchand, & Thompson, 1982;Johnes, 1988;Levin, & Stephan, 1989;Long, 1978;Meador, Walters, & Jordan, 1992;Olson, 1994) have examined factors influencing the research performance of universities and academics. Numerous studies on faculty research productivity have identified a consistent set of facilitating characteristics that have an impact on faculty research productivity.…”

Recently, the increasing competition in higher education has attracted attention by many researchers. They have emphasized that the aim of the growing competition between universities is to increase the number of students, the research performance and get research support, find qualified faculty members, and receive financial contributions. This paper aims to draw attention to "research performance" which is a significant part of the competition among the universities. In connection with this goal, the study tries to outline the results of an extensive literature review in the field of higher education research performance. Firstly, literature regarding research performance, its definition as a concept, and its indicators are discussed. Then, the factors influencing research performance are presented in a comprehensive manner. At the end of the study, a conceptual framework that will be useful for all university staff is provided. Understanding the concept of research performance and the factors affecting research performance can help relevant authorities improve their current positions. Keywords: Higher education, Research performance, Measurements, Factors, Conceptual framework ÖzYükseköğretim alanında artan rekabet son yıllarda birçok akademisyenin ilgi odağı haline gelmiştir. Konu ile ilgili yapılan araştırmalar, bu rekabetin özellikle, öğrenci sayısı ve araştırma performansını artırma, araştırma fonu elde etme, nitelikli öğretim görevlileri bulma ve kurum için elde edilebilecek finansal destekler üzerine olduğunu vurgulamıştır. Bu çalışmada üniversiteler arasındaki rekabetin önemli bir parçası olan 'araştırma performansı' konusuna dikkat çekilmiş ve kavrama yönelik geniş bir literatür taraması yapılmıştır. İlgili yazın, ilk olarak, kavramı açıklayan tanımlamalar ve kavramın ölçütleriyle birlikte ortaya konulmuş; ardından, araştırma performansını etkileyen faktörler kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda ise 'araştırma performansı' ile ilgili kavramsal bir çerçeve elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bu kavramsal çerçevenin, üniversiteler arası rekabetin önemli bir parçası olan 'araştırma performansı' kavramının her yönüyle anlaşılmasına ve böylelikle konuyla ilgili olan tüm yetkililerin mevcut durumlarını daha iyi hale getirebilmesine katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.

“…Studies have shown that personal characteristics such as age, gender, socioeconomic status, family-related factors, educational background/graduate training, industry experience, academic rank, intrinsic academic motivation, among others, have an effect on the research productivity of academic faculty (Bell & Seater, 1978;Braxton & Bayer, 1986;Hedjazi & Behravan, 2011;S.

Various factors of productivity decline with time were discussed in the literature (e.g., see Goodwin & Sauer, 1995;Kyvik & Olsen, 2008;Stroebe, 2010).…”

OATAO is an open access repository that collects the work of Toulouse researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. Any correspondance concerning this service should be sent to the repository administrator: staff-oatao@listes-diff.inp-toulouse.fr Abstract Scholarly publications reify fruitful collaborations between co-authors. A branch of research in the Science Studies focuses on analyzing the co-authorship networks of established scientists. Such studies tell us about how their collaborations developed through their careers. This paper updates previous work by reporting a transversal and a longitudinal studies spanning the lifelong careers of a cohort of researchers from the DBLP bibliographic database. We mined 3,860 researchers' publication records to study the evolution patterns of their co-authorships. Two features of co-authors were considered: 1) their expertise, and 2) the history of their partnerships with the sampled researchers. Our findings reveal the ephemeral nature of most collaborations: 70% of the new co-authors were only one-shot partners since they did not appear to collaborate on any further publications. Overall, researchers consistently extended their co-authorships 1) by steadily enrolling beginning researchers (i.e., people who had never published before), and 2) by increasingly working with confirmed researchers with whom they already collaborated.
