Evaluating Collaboration Networks in Higher Education Research

This book identifies key factors that drive the development and improvement of higher education research in emerging and advanced economies. In an increasingly interconnected world, knowledge production supported by strong research is a channel for the development of nations. The authors of this book argue that in order to drive knowledge production, leaders must strive to improve their understanding of how global research networks interact with one another, especially from the perspective of internationalization. This book is a useful resource for higher education researchers interested in knowledge production and dissemination as well as academic leaders and practitioners, students, and leaders interested in public administration policies and management.

Contributes to a growing number of studies on the theme of evaluating collaboration networks in higher education Provides quantitative and qualitative evidence on key indicators for research production Presents the results of a 25-year-long study of research networks and collaboration
