Peering inside research networks: Some observations on the effect of the intensity of collaboration on the variability of research quality     

J. Rigby  J. Edler 《Research Policy》2005,34(6):784-794

Although there is some general agreement that increasing levels of collaboration amongst academics produce research papers that receive more citations, and that larger numbers of citations often imply higher quality, the issue of collaboration and its effect upon research output remains a controversial area with a wide range of views of what role collaboration plays and its general implications for quality. This paper re-examines the process of collaboration within research networks. It considers the role of collaboration and its effect on quality by studying the relationship between the level of interaction within research networks (collaboration) and the extent of variability of quality within those research networks. Twenty-two scientific networks from Austria are examined. The findings of the analysis are that increasing levels of collaboration are strongly associated with lower levels of variability of quality within each network. The conclusion is therefore drawn that collaboration at the level of the research network acts upon research quality qua peer review and that this peer review effect is inherent throughout the research process.  相似文献   

Directed collaboration patterns in funded teams: A perspective of knowledge flow     

《Information processing & management》2023,60(2):103237

Collaborations in funded teams are essential for understanding funded research and funding policies, although of high interest, are still not fully understood. This study aims to investigate directed collaboration patterns from the perspective of the knowledge flow, which is measured based on the academic age. To this end, we proposed a project-based team identification approach, which gives particular attention to funded teams. The method is applicable to other funding systems. Based on identified scientific teams, we detected recurring and significant subgraph patterns, known as network motifs, and under-represented patterns, known as anti-motifs. We found commonly occurred motifs and anti-motifs are remarkably characterized by different structures matching certain functions in knowledge exchanges. Collaboration patterns represented by motifs favor hierarchical structures, supporting intensive interactions across academic generations. Anti-motifs are more likely to show chain-like structures, hindering potentially various knowledge activities, and are thus seldom found in real collaboration networks. These findings provide new insights into the understanding of funded collaborations and also the funding system. Meanwhile, our findings are helpful for researchers, the public and policymakers to gain knowledge on research(ers) evolution, particularly in terms of primordial collaboration patterns.  相似文献   

Organization of biomedical data for collaborative scientific research: A research information management system     

Sahiti Myneni  Vimla L. Patel 《International Journal of Information Management》2010

Biomedical researchers often work with massive, detailed and heterogeneous datasets. These datasets raise new challenges of information organization and management for scientific interpretation, as they demand much of the researchers’ time and attention. The current study investigated the nature of the problems that researchers face when dealing with such data. Four major problems identified with existing biomedical scientific information management methods were related to data organization, data sharing, collaboration, and publications. Therefore, there is a compelling need to develop an efficient and user-friendly information management system to handle the biomedical research data. This study evaluated the implementation of an information management system, which was introduced as part of the collaborative research to increase scientific productivity in a research laboratory. Laboratory members seemed to exhibit frustration during the implementation process. However, empirical findings revealed that they gained new knowledge and completed specified tasks while working together with the new system. Hence, researchers are urged to persist and persevere when dealing with any new technology, including an information management system in a research laboratory environment.  相似文献   

从内部优化到全局协同：模块化生产网络构建策略研究     

王海军  徐伟  宋红英  施慧斌 《科技管理研究》2017,(1)

在全球化价值链驱动下,产业的分工格局进一步细化,企业为了平衡生产成本、促进产业链知识共享和资源整合,就必须构建更为有效的生产网络。文章首先分析了模块化生产网络的特征,探讨了基于模块化产品架构来构建模块化生产网络的基本策略。其次,提出了结合模块的特性来优化模块化生产线布局的方案,其中包括稳定的主线配置和动态模块自制和外购策略切换等。在此基础上,构建了模块化生产网络模型,阐述了以企业为核心并嵌入模块供应商、代工厂等外部资源进行研产销全局协同的思路。最后,结合海尔集团公司的模块化生产实际案例说明本文提出理论方法的适用性。  相似文献   

高职院校校企合作模式的研究   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

彭玲云 《鄂州大学学报》2009,16(4):67-68,71

校企合作对于高等职业技术教育是不可或缺的基础条件,是培养高职实用人才的有效途径。校企合作^[1]的形式大体分为“企业配合”、“校企联合培养^[2]”和“校企实体合作型”三种模式。校企合作中学校应当注重培养学生的综合素质及实践动手能力,企业应当在师资和实训基地建设方面加强与学校的合作实现互利双赢。  相似文献

What is shared? A framework for understanding shared innovation within communities     

Richard E. West 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2009,57(3):315-332

The twenty-first century economy often requires the innovative production of conceptual and physical artifacts. These innovations frequently are developed collaboratively within communities of workers. Previous theories about the nature of work and learning within communities have emphasized shared meaning or shared practice, but now shared innovation is required. In this paper, I describe the development of a model for conceptualizing and studying shared innovation within communities. This model was created from merging elements of social learning and creativity/innovation theories. I explain that at an intersection of these two domains is a unique kind of social structure, called a Community of Innovation, or COI. I conclude by describing the characteristics of a COI and its implications for design and research.

Competing views of teaching in a school–university partnership     

Samantha Scribner Bartholomew  Judith Haymore Sandholtz 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2009

This case study examines how differing views on the teacher's role in school reform affected the work of a school–university partnership. The school district and the university had a history of partnerships and shared common general goals. Yet, as the partnership progressed, conflicting perspectives about teaching and the purpose of professional development became evident and created dilemmas that influenced the nature of the work. We provide background information about each partner, describe the two views, and examine how the differing perspectives influenced the goals and activities of the partnership. This study highlights the complex issues embedded in school–university collaboration.  相似文献   

Towards a collaborative,interactionist model of teacher change     

Raimo Kaasila  Anneli Lauriala 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2010

The aim of this article is to extend the scope of the models of teacher change to an interactionist view which co-ordinates sociocultural and constructivist perspectives. Accordingly our focus will be on the cultural and situational factors and processes of social interaction, as well as on the development on an individual level. First we study how roles, statuses, expectations as well as social and socio-mathematical norms were formed in the group of four student teachers, when they were co-planning, teaching and assessing mathematics lessons during their teaching practice. Finally, we attempt to construct a collaborative, interactionist model of teacher change integrating sociocultural and constructivist perspectives.  相似文献
