“…Drivers of international collaboration include mass data storage, grand challenges, electronic communications (Barjak et al 2013 ), and less expensive travel (Adams 2012 ), as well as specific policy implementation by governments. According to Boekholt et al ( 2009 ) other drivers include to improve the quality, scope and critical mass in science and research by linking national resources and knowledge with resources and knowledge in other countries to obtain access to state-of-the-art knowledge abroad as well to attract state-of-the-art knowledge or people to the ‘home’ country.…”

International collaboration in Brazilian science: financing and impact

et al. 2020

The study of international collaborations can help in understanding the benefits of such relationships and aid in developing national financing policies. In this paper, the international collaboration of Brazilian scientists was studied using SciVal ® and Incites ® database, looking at its effect on the universities, financing agencies and different areas of knowledge and research topic clusters. Cluster and principal component analyses of scientometric data were carried out. While the results confirmed known knowledge that international collaboration increases impact, this study shows that Brazilian researchers are contributing to prominent research topics worldwide, in all areas of knowledge. This finding is contrary to several points of view that identify Brazil as a regional and not an international partner in science. Important also to note the impact of Brazilian authors in international collaboration that is well above the world mean. The collaboration of Brazil with foreign partners brings benefits for both sides, creating the opportunity of Brazilian research access to financing from international agencies. Increases in measures of impact are also seen for both sides. Foreign partners likewise benefit from higher impact factors in the same topic cluster, when collaborating with Brazilian partners. Publishing open access in high impact journals is fundamental for maintaining Brazilian science at the forefront.

“…The development also self-organizes at the global level of the United States and other advanced industrial nations for reasons driven by the demands of science. Mass data storage of electronic communications [18] with less expensive travel may also contributes the drivers and facilitators to the author collaboration in science [19]. Some governments [20] even invest purposefully in the stimulation of "internationalization" in Total % science to promote the international coauthor collaborations more than ever before.…”

Purpose: Identifying international coauthor collaborations for journal papers on physiotherapy is important and meaningful. However, no any paper that can combine Google map and Social Network Analysis (SNA) to present valuable information for readers. Our aims were to visualize the feature of international coauthor collaborations on the topic of physiotherapy and present the result on a Google map using SNA.Methods: Downloading 3342 articles on November 5, 2017 from Pbumed.com, we analyzed author nation and report features: (1) nations published the most papers in physiotherapy; (2) the prominent journal published the most papers in physiotherapy; (3) visual representations to report the cluster relations in physiotherapy; (4) international author collaborations based on the coordinates of latitude and longitude on Google Maps. SNA Pajek software was performed in this study. Results:We found that the top nation is from Australia (409, 9.88%). The top prominent journal is Aust J Physiother (176, 5.27%). The Google map combined with SNA to demonstrate the most frequency of authors are from Europe and the two nations of U.K. and Australia.Conclusions: Google map combined with SNA provides wide and deep insight into the relationships among nations and coauthor collaborations. The results can be provided to readers for the submission to the journal with the aims and the scope related to physiotherapy.

“…the European Grid Initiative (EGI) (European distributed computing infrastructure), GEANT (European high performance networking infrastructure) and supporting National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) (e.g. JANET in the UK)) (Barjak, et al 2013). The infrastructures continue to evolve; the EGI is developing the EGI Federated Cloud (Fernández-del-Castillo, Scardaci, & García, 2015) and the European Commission is leading the European Open Science Cloud 6 both of which aim to give a scalable and flexible e-Infrastructure to the European research community.…”
