How to make a high international research collaboration?
Following factors can be considered:
Find the research team with common research interest - best place to start is through searching from RG member list
Build up the rapport & trust - it can be via sharing of common interests, artifacts contribution from each parties, challenges and future plans etc.
Arrange & agree on the protocol & logistics - when trust is built / comfort level is affirmed, research collaboration protocol needs to be discussed & agreed e.g. how to collaborate, what is the stake / contribution from each party, what are the recognition points, commitment to ground rules (especially during conflict management), research process & manuscript writing & publishing order etc. Logistics e.g. when & where to meet, virtual meeting across different time zones, deliverable deadlines, project schedule management (if required) are also important.

There are 3 critical things for the success of such a collaboration-first the team has knowledge to do the research, secondly, they have the resources to do it and finally, they can overcome intra conflict to reach their goals.
I think the collaborators should be complementary to each other, every one should have its unique contribution for generating highly advanced work. One essential point, you should select who can strictly aware by his role and should be updated, flexible and respectful to deadlines. Selecting collaborators from different areas to produce one piece of text is highly recommended to combine all benefits, skills and experience in highly impactful research.
