Which distance dimensions matter in international research collaboration? A cross-country analysis by scientific domain
作者：
Highlights：
• We assessed the impact of different distances on the propensity to engage in International Research Collaborations (IRC) in 193 countries.
• Distances tend to obstruct IRC, with geographical and cultural distances emerging as the strongest barriers.
• Notwithstanding, excellence (intellectual) distance fosters IRC in the Medical & Health (Agricultural) Sciences.
• The negative impact of socioeconomic, political, and intellectual distances on IRC increased over time.
• The negative impact of geographical and cultural distances on IRC decreased over time.
