How can editorial teams and librarians help facilitate global research collaboration?
Webinar Resources:
- Nature Index
- Nature Index Supplements
- Nature Mental Health website
- The TRUST Code
A Global Code of Conduct for Equitable Research Partnerships
This is an ethics framework with wide endorsement from funders, institutions, and publishers that has prompted some of the formal guidance applied to the Nature Portfolio of journals. - Nature Porfolio Authorship Policies
Nature-wide policies regarding various facets of authorship. - Inclusion and Ethics in Global Research
This policy applies specifically to research ethics and reporting guidance around global research partnerships and collaboration. Some Springer Nature journals have elected to publish author responses to specific prompts as part of an “Ethics & Inclusion statement” within the Methods section.
Summary:
Good collaboration is important for success in many areas of our lives and is absolutely essential for research. Collaboration is the logical choice for institutions and researchers and has become increasingly commonplace. The number of authors per publication has increased across all disciplines since the 1980s, and international collaboration has been found to have increased from 14% to 24% of papers.
