“…This also hints that, as expected, the respondents preferred to indicate, whenever possible, their international journal articles instead of other types of publications that were asked in the questionnaire. 2 This behaviour goes in line with the tendencies discussed in the literature [9,13,37,38,44,47,58] for researchers to comply with the new values and principles, which nowadays frame the research systems. We can also recall our boundary of a maximum of 5 publications that each respondent could submit.…”

“…Trying to analyse if there is a relationship or an impact between academic international experiences and individuals (academics) research productivity, we ask whether having graduated abroad favoured a different profile for disseminating knowledge produced with a higher emphasis on publishing internationally. We believe this is the case, given the higher de facto orientation that foreign countries may have towards publications in international outlets when compared to Portugal [6,37] and the fact that being abroad improves researchers knowledge of a second (or even a third) language.…”

“…In this way, those who do not collaborate internationally may be lagging behind in terms of resources and prestige in the academia. International collaborations and networks are then important processes in improving the quality of research [8,37,40]. Research productivity and competition are thus hand in hand and they are becoming permanent features of the European research landscape.…”

This paper contributes to the debate on academics' internationalisation and academic research productivity by focusing on knowledge diffusion. Public policies on science and technology developed in Portugal in the last years have fostered an increase in the number of PhD graduates, and incite them to study abroad. Consequently, many PhD students have been studying outside Portugal. Simultaneously, international publications have been assuming an increasing relevance in researcher's recruitment and career advancement. Taking those PhD graduates who have a contractual relation with a higher education institution (HEI), this study analyses if having a PhD abroad matters to the way researchers disseminate the knowledge they produce. Conclusions show a positive effect between taking the PhD abroad and reporting a higher number of international articles. However, and contrary to our expectations, when separating this result between ISCED-97 Fields of Education, such outcomes only hold for the areas of "Arts and Humanities" and "Social Sciences, Commerce and Law", being ineffective or even having the contrary effect for all other areas.

“…She reported a strong effect of perceived departmental climate on both measures, and particularly among female faculty members. Baird (1986Baird ( , 2009) was interested in departmental research productivity and reputation, and found that the highest-ranking departments in terms of reputational prestige were not necessarily more productive than those that were lower ranked. McCain, O'Reilly, and Pfeffer (1983) considered the effects of faculty cohorts on departmental turnover, and found that department size, faculty members' years of service, and individual characteristics were significantly related to turnover.…”

The academic department remains understudied as a context of faculty work, particularly in institutional settings beyond the research university. In this article, we report findings from a study of faculty experiences within academic departments in liberal arts colleges, through analysis of interviews with 55 faculty members representing a 13-member consortium of liberal arts institutions in the mid-western U.S. Through inductive analysis and deductive coding from existing models, we identified five functions of departments in liberal arts colleges, including: (a) faculty hiring, retention, and promotion; (b) new faculty socialization; (c) informal interactions, mentoring, and network-building; (d) establishing and communicating institutional and departmental policies, practices, and procedures; and (e) the structuring of academic work. Findings suggest that departmental functions in liberal arts colleges are generally the same as those in other institution types, but play out differently and thus have different consequences for academic careers. Across functions, liberal arts colleges seem to be undergoing an evolution, or perhaps revolution, that has implications for academic work in such contexts.
