论文摘要
地理接近度被认为是研究合作的关键因素。具体而言，它可以作为机构接近的可能替代品。本研究调查了“接近”效应对不同类型的国家研究合作的相关性。我们采用基于在科学网络中索引的意大利2010-2017科学生产的文献计量方法。在此类数据集上，我们应用统计工具来分析合着者在出版物旁线中的地理距离是否以及在何种程度上在合作类型，科学学科以及随着时间的推移之间变化。结果可以为旨在有效刺激跨部门合作的政策提供信息，并对研究绩效评估具有直接的实际影响。
Geographic proximity is acknowledged to be a key factor in research collaborations. Specifically, it can work as a possible substitute for institutional proximity. The present study investigates the relevance of the "proximity" effect for different types of national research collaborations. We apply a bibliometric approach based on the Italian 2010-2017 scientific production indexed in the Web of Science. On such dataset, we apply statistical tools for analyzing if and to what extent geographical distance between co-authors in the byline of a publication varies across collaboration types, scientific disciplines, and along time. Results can inform policies aimed at effectively stimulating cross-sector collaborations, and also bear direct practical implications for research performance assessments.
