Bibliometric studies of research collaboration: A review:
TLDR
Several types of collaboration have been identified, and earlier research on collaboration has been reviewed, andibliometric methods offer a convenient and non-reactive tool for studying collaboration in research.Abstract:
Scientific research is becoming an increasingly collaborative endeavour. The nature and magnitude of collaboration vary from one discipline to another, and depend upon such factors as the nature of...read more

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.

Research collaboration in universities and academic entrepreneurship: the-state-of-the-art
TL;DR: The authors provide a critical overview of the literature on research collaboration, focusing particularly on individual-level collaborations among university researchers, but also give attention to university researchers' collaborations with researchers in other sectors, including industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
What do we measure by co-authorships?
TL;DR: This paper identified six types of research collaborations with distinct patterns of rewards and found that about half of the collaborations are invisible in formal communication channels because they are not rewarded; and showed that about one third of collaborations are rewarded only by acknowledgements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collaborative coefficient: A single measure of the degree of collaboration in research
TL;DR: It is shown that the mean number of authors per paper or the proportion of the multiple-authored papers is inadequate as a measure of the degree of collaboration in a discipline, so a measure which combines some of the merits of both measures is suggested and derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of scholar collaboration on impact and quality of academic papers
TL;DR: A general positive association between cardinality of the author set of a paper and citation count as well as peer quality of the contribution is measured, which is stronger when the affiliations of authors are heterogeneous.

Is citation analysis a legitimate evaluation tool
TL;DR: It is concluded that as the scientific enterprise becomes larger and more complex, and its role in society more critical, it will become more difficult, expensive and necessary to evaluate and identify the largest contributors.

Studies in scientific collaboration: Part I. The professional origins of scientific co-authorship
Donald deB. Beaver,Richard Rosen +1 more
TL;DR: This essay presents and develops the first comprehensive theory of scientific collaboration: collaborative scientific research originated, developed, and continues to be practiced as a response to the professionalization of science.

Studies in scientific collaboration
Donald deB. Beaver,Richard Rosen +1 more
TL;DR: This essay investigates a number of the predictions of the theoretical view of scientific collaboration as a response to the professionalization of science: that collaboration is most typically practiced by the scientific elite, or those who aspire to it, and that it increases individual research productivity and enhances the visibility of research to the larger scientific community.

Nobel laureates in science: patterns of productivity, collaboration, and authorship.
TL;DR: Nobel laureates in science publish more and are more apt to collaborate than a matched sample of scientists, and comparison of their research output with the output of the matched sample indicates that these patterns hold at every stage of the life-work-cycle.
