  • Career aspects of Slovenian researchers' collaboration practices
    Groboljšek, Blanka ...
    The paper presents the characteristics and trends of scientific collaboration in Slovenia. We find the bibliometric analysis of scientific co-authorship to be one of the most useful approaches to the ... study of this phenomenon. We discuss the implications of scientific collaboration for professional career development. In the paper's theoretical part, general issues and strategies of scientific collaboration in connection with career paths are outlined. The focus then moves to global trends, featuring the growth of science collaboration and a micro-level analysis of the benefits of scientific collaboration. In the empirical part, the collaboration practices of selected groups of Slovenian researchers are presented by concentrating on bibliometric indicators as well as scientists' opinions of a selected group of Slovenian scientists. The analysis of the bibliographic data confirms differences in publication cultures among different scientific disciplines. Further, the analysis of the scientists' responses indicates the pragmatic nature of scientific collaboration, particularly in terms of better access to skills, techniques and equipment. Scientific collaboration appears to be one of the most important factors in increasing publication productivity, which is crucial to the development of scientific careers.
