Science as an international enterprise

Abstract

This paper discusses different phenomena concerning the ‘internationality’ of science. International visibility is enhanced by the impact of research results, which can be stimulated by changing the publication strategy towards higher impact journals. There is a strong positive correlation between international co-publication and high impact as measured by citation analysis. Political and cultural factors strongly influence international collaboration. Patterns of scientific collaboration often strikingly reflect political situations. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
