The importance of collaborative networks in Canadian scientific research
研究了科学家在合著和合作发明网络中的位置如何影响其论文产出和引用次数，发现合作网络对学术和技术产出均有积极作用。
This study investigates co-author and co-inventor collaborations using scientific articles and patents to measure collaborative knowledge production. This paper assesses how a scientist’s position within the joint co-publication and co-invention network affects its production and citation impact. Our findings reveal that number of publications is strongly associated with the scientists’ position in co-author/inventor networks and that a scientist’s technological production actually increases with collaboration in such networks. These academic relationships have a significant impact on the future number of publication citations and appear to benefit the number of patent citations in the same measure.
