The Correspondence between Canadian University Professors’ Sociodemographic Characteristics and their Collaboration and Co-Authoring of Publications with International Colleagues
This article aims to assess (1) the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, citizenship, parental education, language, and province) to collaborative research and the cowriting of publications between Canadian and international colleagues, and (2) the relationship between the collaboration with international colleagues and the cowriting of publications. Statistical analysis of questionnaire responses (N = 2738) suggests that sociodemographic characteristics have a low, although statistically significant, magnitude effect on the level of collaboration and coauthorship of publications with international colleagues, and that there is some interaction between these two variables. We will discuss the impact of professional characteristics on collaboration and coauthorship between Canadian and international colleagues later.
