- Abstract
- The collaborative pattern of all Nordic universities, as well as a few universities in the UK and the Netherlands, is analyzed using institutionally co-authored articles retrieved from Science Citation Index. The study shows that there are no major differences between universities of various size when it comes to the proportion of articles with internal, national, or international co-authorships. There are some country variations, but within each country, the differences among the universities are small, if any. When co-authorships were fractionalized according to the number of times a given university occurs among the addresses of an article, there were still no significant differences between universities of varying size. Since external collaboration, whether it is national or international, accounts for more than half of all articles produced by the universities, one is inclined to conclude that the universities function as a kind of cosmopolitan hotel housing nodes of scientific networks that are becoming increasingly international
