“…This commitment is highly consistent with internationalisation indicators related to shared output of both Chinese and Australian universities (see Higher Education Institute of Southwest Jiaotong University, 2013; Universities Australia, 2013). Literature also shows that the degree of openness of a research team towards other institutions and/or countries, the frequency of co-authorships, and the average size of co-authoring teams are important determinants for high-quality research productivity (Carilloa, Papagni, & Sapio, 2013). Bibliometric literature indicates that the impact of the papers grows as the number of authors increases, especially when the authors are from multiple countries (Jeong, Choi, & Kim, 2011;LanchoBarrantes, Guerrero-Bote, & Moya-Anegón, 2013;Pečlin, Južnič, Blagus, Sajko, & Stare, 2012).…”

“…Through co-authoring, not only formal scholarly knowledge is exchanged but also a broad range of contextual information, micro-organisational capabilities, and social and technical skills is produced (Niu, 2013). Interestingly, the presence of doctoral students in a research team has been found to be one of the most effective factors for increasing the production of excellent publications (Carilloa et al, 2013). This intention underpinned the collaborative writing of the present paper by a relatively large group of doctoral students and academics from two different countries.…”

Generating Benefits and Negotiating Tensions through an International Doctoral Forum: A Sociological Analysis

Workshops and seminars are widely-used forms of doctoral training. However, research with a particular focus on these forms of doctoral training is sporadic in the literature. There is little, if any, such research concerning the international context and participants’ own voices. Mindful of these lacunae in the literature, we write the current paper as a group of participants in one of a series of doctoral forums co-organised annually by Beijing Normal University, China and Queensland University of Technology, Australia. The paper voices our own experiences of participation in the doctoral forum. Data were drawn from reflections, journals, and group discussions of all 12 student and academic participants. These qualitative data were organised and analysed through Bourdieu’s notions of capital and field. Findings indicate that the doctoral forum created enabling and challenging social fields where participants accrued and exchanged various forms of capital and negotiated transient and complex power relations. In this respect, the sociological framework used provides a distinctive theoretical tool to conceptualise and analyse the benefits and tensions of participation in the doctoral forum. Knowledge built and lessons learned through our paper will provide implications and recommendations for future planning of, and participation in, the doctoral forum series and similar activities elsewhere.

“…(Blau 1970;Peltonen 2016, 120) In fact, this issue is central to understanding the organizational challenges faced by HEP laboratories. The downside of increasing the size of research institutions across sciences, including physics, has been analyzed using a number of parameters (Carillo et al 2013;Von Tunzelman et al 2003;Katz 1982 The focus on building a favourable local context rather than establishing a coherent general system of organization may be another essential component of the organizational development of HEP laboratories. Japan and the US have developed different models: Japan's model is that of a household where mutual agreement is key, while US labs are tightly managed top-down, much like sports teams (Traweek 2009, 149).…”

Egalitarian Paradise or Factory Drudgery? Organizing Knowledge Production in High Energy Physics (HEP) Laboratories

The organization of cutting-edge HEP laboratories has evolved in the intersection of academia, state agencies, and industry. Exponentially ever-larger and more complex knowledge-intensive operations, the laboratories have often faced the challenges of, and required organizational solutions similar to, those identified by a cluster of diverse theories falling under the larger heading of organization theory. The cluster has either shaped or accounted for the organization of industry and state administration. The theories also apply to HEP laboratories, as they have gradually and uniquely hybridized their principles and solutions. Yet scholarship has virtually ignored this linkage and has almost exclusively focused on the laboratories' presumably unique egalitarian organizational aspects. Guided by the principles developed in the organization theory cluster, we identify the basic organizational features of HEP laboratories in relation to their pursuit of narrow and broad epistemic goals. We also provide a set of criteria and methods for assessing the efficiency of the identified organizational features in achieving such goals.

“…Universiti Malaya (UM) has 61 and Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) has 53 publications respectively co-authored with UTM. [43] mentioned that the share of co-authored publications or external authors does positively affect a publication's quality. It has also become even more obvious that dealing with governance in addition to organizational issues is essential in enhancing the efficiency of universities [44] .…”

Numerous studies have indicated enhanced productivity results for computer science (CS) researchers as well as their respective institutions. This paper aims to evaluate the research productivity of a Malaysian university, namely, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) concentrating in particular on the CS researchers. The author uses the Scopus database which is known as the most accessible bibliographic database to world scientific research. There are some 3102 research works which have been produced by CS researchers at UTM. The highest number of these (2095) have been published as conference papers; followed by 957 papers in the article category. These are covered by the database from the period 2000 to 2013. One of the most significant findings is that most publications have been co-authored. This serves to boost collaboration initiative with the respective faculty members in the university or from other universities.
