Editorial Scientific collaboration and quality of scientific research
Journal Title: Webology - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
There are indications in the literature that scientific collaborations increase the quality of Hollis, 2001; Frenken, Hotzel, & De Vor, 2005; Figg et al., 2006). A simple study on the top 100 most-cited papers from the top 10 universities also confirms this. I selected the top 10 universities from the Academic Ranking of World Universities (2008) and then for each university I chose 10 most-cited papers. For this I conducted a search in the "Affiliation Search" box of Scopus for each university, and the resulting papers were ranked by the number of citations (ordered by "Cited By") that each paper has received since its publication until 2009, and then I examined the top 10 highly-cited papers
