“…The study undertaken by Heck and Zaleski (1991) documents a clear increase in the overall incidence of co-authorship from 15% of the total articles produced in 1969, to about 35% of those produced in 1989. As measured by Durden and Perri (1995), the overall co-authorship rate had grown to more than 38% by 1992. In 1993, the proportion of co-authorship in the American Economic Review was 54.9%, whilst that for the Journal of Political Economy was 39.6%, as compared to the respective rates in 1950 of 8 and 6% (Hudson 1996).…”

The issue of primary interest to this study is the collaboration that has taken place in science and technology (S&T) research in China. Due to our empirical evidences, the regions with higher relationship (network) capital enjoy higher knowledge productivity in terms of published articles. Our purpose in this paper is to investigate the relationships that exist between regional published articles and co-authorship in China covering the period from 1998 to 2007 by using Stata to investigate the relation between the regional publications and co-authored published articles. As main findings, the greater the number of co-authored articles that a region has, the greater their success, in terms of the number of articles published. Indeed, both domestic and international co-authorship have had positive effects on published article levels in China.

“…McDowell and Smith (1992) use cross-sectional data on academics and regress the number of articles produced by an individual (with co-authored 1 See McDowell and Melvin (1983) and Durden and Perri (1995) on economics. In other fields, the increase in coauthorship has also been noted.…”

“…Landry, Traore and Godin (1996) use cross-sectional data on scientific researchers from several disciplines and find that higher rates of co-authorship are correlated with higher numbers of articles, but don't control for the researcher's discipline or quality of article, thus rendering the conclusions meaningless. Durden and Perri (1995) use time series data on annual economics publications over twenty-four years, and find that the number of total publications is positively related to the number of co-authored publications, a correlation which they claim shows collaboration "enhances productivity in total and per-capita article production." A more reasonable specification of their test would be to regress the total number of publications on the proportion co-authored.…”

Co-authorship and the output of academic economists

This paper uses panel data on 339 economists to evaluate the relationship between coauthorship and output. It is shown that for a given individual, more coauthorship is associated with higher quality, greater length, and greater frequency of publications. However, the net relationship between coauthorship and output attributable to the individual is negative after discounting for the number of authors. The results of this paper suggest that universities and granting agencies which preferentially reward research collaboration may be undermining their goal of maximizing research output. JEL: D2, J0

“…Some studies focus on the impact of collaboration (Durden and Perri 1995;Gonzalez-Brambila and Veloso 2007;Godin 2003;Lee and Bozeman 2005;Rigby and Edler 2005;Shelton 2008) with most research considering the impact of research collaboration in general rather than in the specific context of formal research networking. Many studies focus on the importance of industrial funding to researchers in terms of their research performance (Gulbrandsen and Smeby 2005;Feller et al 2002;Bozeman and Gaughan 2007).…”

Facilitating innovation in European research area through pre-competitive EU-funded COST Actions

The European Union (EU) Heads of States regularly confirm that knowledge and innovation are critical to Europe's growth and agreed to make the EU the most competitive knowledge-driven economy. The EU's ability to facilitate innovation by strengthening its research capacities is central to achieving this goal. Some EU initiatives under this innovation policy integrate research capacities already existing in individual states through pan-European participation in collaborative projects in science and technology. The EU is financing a number of formal pre-competitive networking programs aiming at a better deployment of existing national research capacities via their inclusion in joint research initiatives. Although there is a general consensus that increasing levels of collaboration amongst researchers produce better results, the issue of research networking and of related research outcomes continues to generate debate with a wide variety of views on what roles such programs play and their general implications for research and scientific performance. As the EU Framework Programme 7 is coming to its end, this paper explores whether such formal networking programs contribute to facilitating innovation in the European Research Area by enabling Science and Technology participants to achieve anticipated research outcomes from their involvement in such programs.
