TLDR
This article compares, within a data-set of German research units, citation and co-publication indicators as a proxy for the unobserved quality dimension of scientific research and suggests that, although there is a strong partial correlation between citations andCo-publications within a multivariate setting, it cannot use reasonably normalised co- publications indicators as an alternative proxy for quality.Abstract:
This article deals with the role of internationally co-authored papers (co-publications). Specifically, we compare, within a data-set of German research units, citation and co-publication indicators as a proxy for the unobserved quality dimension of scientific research. In that course we will also deal with the question whether both citations and co-publications are considerably related. Our results suggest that, although there is a strong partial correlation between citations and co-publications within a multivariate setting, we cannot use reasonably normalised co-publication indicators as an alternative proxy for quality. Thus, concerning quality assessment, there remains a primer on citation analysis.read more

Research collaboration and research output: A longitudinal study of 65 biomedical scientists in a New Zealand university
TL;DR: A longitudinal dataset of 65 biomedical scientists at a New Zealand university and coded collaboration variables by hand checking each of their publications in a period of 14 years found that at article level, both within-university collaboration and international collaboration are positively related to an article's quality and that, at scientist-year level, only international collaboration is positive related to a scientist's future research output.

What is research collaboration
J. Sylvan Katz,Ben R. Martin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors distinguish between collaboration at different levels and show that inter-institutional and international collaboration need not necessarily involve inter-individual collaboration, and argue for a more symmetrical approach in comparing the costs of collaboration with the undoubted benefits when considering policies towards research collaboration.
