I myself regretfully welcome to collaborate with my colleagues and friends from other countries and have some articles in my profile. Collaboration with other research teams usually makes these processes easier !
This is a very important aspect that most people have over looked. I have a personal experience. I made a friend on LinkedIn and she was an anthropologist from the US. It has been very interesting as she has already contributed enough in a paper i intended to publish on manoic (Cassava) I recommend international national and inter continental collaboration highly. I will use this opportunity to open up for collaboration in Anthropological papers.
In principle, it is useful. But noone can exclude the option of unworthy behavior of a partner. I had such experience once ... But there are much more positive cases.
Is very important make research networks because of this manner we can enrich our knowledge and together begin with the necessary changes for solution to many global problems. Remember together we can do it.
Now a days being in the academic or in industry, contribution of our work towards improvement/ performance enhancement/ increasing production/ development of new research ideas/ guiding people towards research is becoming compulsory and necessary. Hence learning/ adopting new methodology in the area of research is not easy without combination of expertise people in specific areas. New ideas are developed only in interaction and exchange of ideas. This reflects work culture and should be inculcated in each and everyone. The ideas should be shared with people who are good in the area how far they may be. Collaboration with different institutes/ industries of like minded research people can create wonders and improve stature/ caliber in research. A good research with the help of people of expertise from different countries will achieve the goal, satisfaction, ultimately give good results and help us to know each other better even though several internet platforms are available. Publishing research, collaboration of people from different countries should be given weightage since they not only enhance the potential of our work but also expose our skills.
I think it is very useful to work together. What do you think? We can cooperate if we are in the same direction. Look for my information on researchgate.net
Different International researchers on a paper will definitely have more international audience in similar or related fields, however it gets better if they are from different disciplines.
Interdisciplinary collaborations in research brings about different approaches and utilizes different methods making it unique in it's application, Nowadays the latter is more practiced.
