Citation increments between collaborating countries

Abstract

International collaboration enhances citation impact. Collaborating with a country increments the citations received from it. But some collaborating countries provide greater increments in this sense than others, and likewise some countries receive greater increments from their partner countries than others. We observed a certain tendency for these increments to be lower in countries with greater impacts. Also, all the countries studied had higher Domestic Impacts as a result of collaborating, although this increment was less than that obtained from other countries. Finally, there were differences in the behaviour of the countries between the various scientific disciplines, with the effects being greatest in Social Sciences, followed by Engineering.

Increase in citations received by India from collaborating countries

“…Both Lancho et al [9] and Lancho, Guerrero & Moya [10] are referred as general studies along with the sources, methodologies, constraints encountered.…”

“…The same data and some of the indicators from the studies Lancho et al [9]; and Lancho, Guerrero & Moya [10] were used for this analysis. Data source, treatment and indicators are described in detail by these two papers.…”

“…However, the effect of collaboration on scientific impact appears to be more remarkable in the "hard"sciences, such as Physics or Mathematics, than in the "soft" ones, such as Arts and Humanities or Social Sciences (Moed et al [4]; Bridgstock [5]; Bandyopadhyay [6]; Molteni & Zulueta [7]; Ardanuy et al [8]). Regarding behaviour citation, considerable differences from one field to another can be also found sometimes (Lancho et al [9]; Lancho, Guerrero & Moya [10])…”

Bibliometric patterns and indicators of research collaboration of Egyptian health scientists: 1980

“…These diseases are universal in nature and need to be studied across nations in the attempt to determine differences in genetic, cultural beliefs and attitudes, and personal responses to different treatments (Freshwater et al 2006) Bibliometric indicators have been extensively applied to provide insights into the global landscape of science in the century of knowledge-based economy (21st century). These indicators are considered most valuable and common approaches to assess research performance, as well as domestic and international collaboration (Bordons et al 2013;Bornmann and Leydesdorff 2013;Gazni and Didegah 2011;Gazni, Sugimoto and Didegah 2012;Lancho-Barrantes et al 2013;Leydesdorff et al 2013;Mostafavi and Bazrafshan 2014;Patel et al 2011;Persson et al 2004;Schmoch and Schubert 2008;Shrivats and Bhattacharya 2014;Waast and Rossi 2010;Wagner and Leydesdorff 2005;Wang et al 2011;Yu et al 2014).…”

Citation pattern of newsworthy research articles

“…[2] The time taken for a research paper to gather citations also depend on several factors including the field of research, novelty of the research, [3] type of research, [4] collaborations, [5] etc., It is seen that many papers that are published even in high impact journals never get a citation or may get citations after a several years of actual publication or may get some quick citations that may taper off in a few years. [6,7] It is will be useful to look at the citedness of the research papers that have been covered by news magazines.…”
