Foreigners' point of view towards collaboration with Iranian authors
Journal Title: Webology - Year 2012, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Co-authorship is a process in which two or more authors share their ideas, resources and data to create a joint work. This study examines the motivations of non-Iranians who had a joint work with Iranian authors. A web questionnaire was sent by e-mail to 320 non-Iranian researchers who had published a joint work with Iranian authors in the first half of 2012. Results showed that most of non-Iranian co-authors were once the supervisors of their Iranian co-authors, and the main reason for this collaboration was getting new ideas. The majority of respondents were satisfied with their cooperation and the benefits they gained. In general, non-Iranians and Iranians got familiar because Iranians studied abroad.
