scientific mobility, production in coauthorshipAbstract
The mobility of researchers is considered a central element of the scientific collaboration. We propose to study its characteristics and its relation with the publication production in coauthorship in a specific institution in order to analyze if the “profiles of collaboration” measured through mobility and the production in coauthorship, are similar. The subject of the present study is the University Carlos III of Madrid, period 1998-2003. We use as sources the Annual Report of tne University together with bibliographic databases: the international databases of Thomson-ISI (SCI, SSCI, A&HCI) and the Spanish databases of CSIC (ICYT, IME and ISOC). The results show a relationship between mobility and production in collaboration and induce us to undertake new studies on the impact of mobility in the global scientific activity.
