“…In general, scientific collaborations are a family of purposeful working relationships between two or more people, groups, or organizations to research phenomena, to develop a scientific instrument or technology, to build a facility, and to publish a study (Hackett, 2005). These collaborations have been studied extensively by scholars through quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research designs (Agar, 2006; Bennett & Gadlin, 2012; Cloud, 2001; de Solla Price, 1963, 1977; Ding, Foo, & Chowdhury, 1999; Glanzel, 2002; Glanzel & De Lange, 1997; Garfield, 2009; Hara, Solomon, Kim, & Sonnenwald, 2003; Harper, 2003; Sangam, 2009; Shrum, Genuth, & Chompalov, 2007; Vasileiadou, 2009; Wagner, 2002; Wuchty, Jones, & Uzzi, 2007).…”
