Research Collaboration and Coauthorship in Iran

The development and complexity of different dimensions of science, has somehow made inevitably necessary what usually is called research collaboration among scholars and researchers. This collaboration is needed to answer the guestions regarding new issues and problems. Research Collaboration, Coauthorship and coproduction have recently turned into the most important characteristics of the scientific society. The increasing complexity of current research requires a greater number of contributors for completion and the increasing trend toward multiple authorship being established. The resources and techniques that are needed to address research issues in some disciplines have increasingly fallen outside the command of individuals. Skilled researchers and frequent coauthors are among the most generous collaborators. Productivity and collaboration are correlated and those who are most productive are also most willing to share publication credits. The main purpose of this research is to find out the major rates of research collaboration and coauthorship among the Iranian scholars.
