Do more distant collaborations have more citation impact?

作者:

Highlights:

• We address question whether systematic differences exist between pairs of collaborating countries in terms of the citation impact of their joint output.

• We find that citation impact increases with the geographical distance between the collaborating counties.

• Country-specific effects on citation impact are also substantial.

• We find no effect of language and interdisciplinarity on citation impact.
