Several studies suggest that international collaboration increases the impact of science. In this study, we selected 50 universities and 10 research institutes to analyze whether publications produced over a 10-year period would gain more visibility through the occurrence of international collaboration. To address this question, we selected the top 10 ranked universities in the world (2023), along with the top-ranked universities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania. Additionally, we included 10 research institutes from different areas of the globe in our analysis. The percentage of publications including international collaboration varied widely among these institutions. Analysis of the average number of citations per publication, in addition to the determination of the field-weighted citation impact, confirmed that international collaboration resulted in higher citation indices. Our study employed approaches to partially quantify the influence of international collaboration on the impact of science, which could serve as the basis for scientific policies aimed at stimulating international partnerships and increasing scientific visibility.
多项研究表明，国际合作能提升科学影响力。在本研究中，我们选取了50所大学和10个研究机构，以分析在10年期间产出的出版物是否会因国际合作的出现而获得更高的关注度。为解决这个问题，我们挑选了世界排名前十的大学（2023年），以及非洲、亚洲、拉丁美洲和大洋洲排名靠前的大学。此外，我们在分析中纳入了来自全球不同地区的10个研究机构。这些机构中包含国际合作的出版物所占百分比差异很大。除了确定领域加权引文影响力之外，对每篇出版物的平均被引次数进行分析证实，国际合作带来了更高的引文指数。我们的研究采用了一些方法来部分量化国际合作对科学影响力的影响，这可为旨在促进国际伙伴关系和提高科学关注度的科学政策提供依据。
