“…There is evidence that work performed in collaboration receives more citations (Lewinson and Cunningham 1991;Narin et al 1991;Katz and Hicks 1997;Glänzel 2001Glänzel , 2002Aksnes 2003;Persson et al 2004;Leimu and Koricheva 2005;Moya-Anegón et al 2008;Chinchilla-Rodríguez et al 2010;Hsu and Huang 2010).…”

Citation increments between collaborating countries

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.

“…Scientific projects are increasingly complex, and these projects demand skills from many areas (Abt, 2007b;Nabout et al, 2015). Articles with more than four authors, for instance, have more citations and, consequently, involve several institutions from different areas (Leimu and Koricheva, 2005;Hsu and Huang, 2011). In addition, it is commonly understood that the most important metric in measuring article quality is the number of times it is cited, independent of other quantitative attributes (e.g.…”

Brazilian scientific production on phytoplankton studies: national determinants and international comparisons

et al. 2015

In this study, we determined the temporal trends of publications by Brazilian authors on phytoplankton and compared these trends to those of other Latin American countries as well as to the 14 countries ranking ahead of Brazil in terms of scientific publication. To do this, we investigated phytoplankton studies published in an international database (Thomson-ISI). The data showed that Brazil plays an important role among other Latin American countries in the publication of these studies. Moreover, the trend of studies published on phytoplankton in Brazil was similar to trends recorded in the developed countries of the world. We conclude that studies can be more deliberately targeted to reduce national and international asymmetries by focusing on projects with large spatial scales and projects that concentrate on less-studied geographic regions, thus encouraging increased productivity in remote areas of the country. Associated with this is a necessary increase in high-impact journal publications, increasing the quantity and quality of Brazilian scientific studies on phytoplankton and, consequently, their global visibility.Keywords: Brazil, global rating, latin america, scientometrics. Produção científica brasileira sobre estudos fitoplanctônicos: determinantes nacionais e comparações internacionais ResumoEsse estudo teve por objetivo determinar a tendência temporal das publicações sobre fitoplâncton de autores brasileiros e comparar essa tendência com outros países latino-americanos, bem como aos 14 principais países em termos de publicação científica. Para isso, investigou-se artigos sobre fitoplâncton disponível em uma base de dados internacionais (Thomson-ISI). A tendência da produção científica de autores brasileiros foi superior a maioria dos países latinoamericanos. Além disso, essa tendência foi similar ao dos países desenvolvidos do mundo. Conclui-se que futuros estudos devem buscar reduzir as assimetrias nacionais e internacionais, concentrando trabalhos em grandes escalas espaciais e em regiões geográfica menos estudadas, incentivando assim, o aumento da produtividade em áreas remotas do país. Associado a isso, destaca-se a importância de aumento de publicações de brasileiros em revistas de alto impacto, aumentando a quantidade e qualidade dos estudos científicos brasileiros sobre o fitoplâncton e, consequentemente sua visibilidade internacional.Palavras-chave: Brasil, taxa global, américa-latina, cienciometria.

“…Likewise, the effect of language of publication on CPP was analyzed. Some research has demonstrated a positive effect of the number of authors, affiliations, or countries participating on a paper on its ‘citedness’ [27],[39]–[41]. In light of this, it is possible that domestic papers might be less cited than bilateral papers, and bilateral papers less cited than multilateral or international collaborations.…”

Sino-Canadian Collaborations in Stem Cell Research: A Scientometric Analysis

et al. 2013

BackgroundInternational collaboration (IC) is essential for the advance of stem cell research, a field characterized by marked asymmetries in knowledge and capacity between nations. China is emerging as a global leader in the stem cell field. However, knowledge on the extent and characteristics of IC in stem cell science, particularly China’s collaboration with developed economies, is lacking.Methods and FindingsWe provide a scientometric analysis of the China–Canada collaboration in stem cell research, placing this in the context of other leading producers in the field. We analyze stem cell research published from 2006 to 2010 from the Scopus database, using co-authored papers as a proxy for collaboration. We examine IC levels, collaboration preferences, scientific impact, the collaborating institutions in China and Canada, areas of mutual interest, and funding sources. Our analysis shows rapid global expansion of the field with 48% increase in papers from 2006 to 2010. China now ranks second globally after the United States. China has the lowest IC rate of countries examined, while Canada has one of the highest. China–Canada collaboration is rising steadily, more than doubling during 2006–2010. China–Canada collaboration enhances impact compared to papers authored solely by China-based researchers This difference remained significant even when comparing only papers published in English.ConclusionsWhile China is increasingly courted in IC by developed countries as a partner in stem cell research, it is clear that it has reached its status in the field largely through domestic publications. Nevertheless, IC enhances the impact of stem cell research in China, and in the field in general. This study establishes an objective baseline for comparison with future studies, setting the stage for in-depth exploration of the dynamics and genesis of IC in stem cell research.
