Abstract

Partnerships exist in many areas of social and economic field. Such relationships are becoming more prevalent in R&D activities, as organizations increasingly seek partners to complement their technical capabilities. R&D partnerships are challenging because efficiency of collaboration and conditions for achieving it are not yet fully understood. This paper explores the distribution of benefits and losses of co-authors in academic paper publication by scholars with asymmetric backgrounds, distinguishing between short-term relative returns (the increase or decrease of a co-authored article relative to the author’s previous citations) and long-term returns (the increase or decrease of citations after co-authored work). The factors that drive the returns (benefits or losses) of junior and senior co-authors vary, and some are even driven by opposite factors. Co-author resources have a greater impact on senior scholars than junior academic partners.
