Although the Science of Team Science or SciTS has already provided substantial evidence for research collaboration positive links to scientific productivity, much less is known about such links with broadly defined academic networking, especially with regard to the dilemma about forms of academic networking that may help individual scholars in handling risks and dynamics inherent in academic connections. This study uses cross-disciplinary theoretical insights to conceptualize "dynamic academic networking" as a distinct collaboration-related phenomenon that is theoretically linked with research productivity on the one hand, and with English language skills on the other, especially in the context of non-Anglophone academic systems. The study combines survey-based data and Scopus-based data to test two main hypothesized connections while controlling for the potential effects of other factors, e.g. home faculty research connections and faculty-industry professional connections. The research results provide support for the structural model which is also interpreted in terms of dynamic networking being valid concept in relation to further development of SciTS.
虽然团队科学科学(SciTS)已经提供了大量证据表明研究合作与科学产出之间存在积极联系,但对于与广泛定义的学术网络的这种联系,人们知之甚少,尤其是在涉及可能有助于个人学者应对学术联系中固有风险和动态的学术网络形式方面。本研究利用跨学科的理论见解,将“动态学术网络”概念化为一种独特的与合作相关的现象,它一方面与研究生产力理论上相关,另一方面与英语语言技能相关,特别是在非英语学术体系的背景下。本研究结合基于调查的数据和基于 Scopus 的数据来测试两个主要假设的联系,同时控制其他因素的潜在影响,例如家庭教师的研究联系和教师与行业的专业联系。研究结果支持结构模型,同时还根据动态网络在进一步发展团队科学科学方面的有效性进行了解释。
