An evaluation of collaborative research in a college of engineering

作者:

Highlights:

• A data collection method is used to obtain researchers’ both in-progress and completed collaborative outputs.

• The data is collected to analyze researchers’ communication and multiple collaborative output networks.

• This study demonstrates how and to what extent the presence of a communication tie from one researcher to another increases the likelihood of forming a collaborative output tie in researchers’ collaborative networks. (e.g., network of joint publications, grant proposals, and patents).
