TLDR
The aim of the work is to assess the level of correlation, at institutional level, between scientific productivity and collaboration intensity as a whole, both internationally and with private organizations.Abstract:
The incidence of extramural collaboration in academic research activities is increasing as a result of various factors. These factors include policy measures aimed at fostering partnership and networking among the various components of the research system, policies which are in turn justified by the idea that knowledge sharing could increase the effectiveness of the system. Over the last two decades, the scientific community has also stepped up activities to assess the actual impact of collaboration intensity on the performance of research systems. This study draws on a number of empirical analyses, with the intention of measuring the effects of extramural collaboration on research performance and, indirectly, verifying the legitimacy of policies that support this type of collaboration. The analysis focuses on the Italian academic research system. The aim of the work is to assess the level of correlation, at institutional level, between scientific productivity and collaboration intensity as a whole, both internationally and with private organizations. This will be carried out using a bibliometric type of approach, which equates collaboration with the co-authorship of scientific publications.read more

Which gender gap? Factors affecting researchers’ scientific impact in science and medicine
TL;DR: The results show that although most of the indicators examined have a positive influence on the relative citation rate, when it comes to gender differences, not having enough public funding and raising private funding appear slightly detrimental for women in the health sciences.

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.

R&D cooperation between firms and universities. Some empirical evidence from Belgian manufacturing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze which firm and industry characteristics are conducive to cooperation with universities and examine the theoretically conflicting effect of the appropriation conditions on the likelihood of cooperating with universities, finding that these cooperative agreements are formed whenever risk is not an important obstacle to innovation and typically serve to share costs.
