International scientific collaboration has increased both in volume and importance. In this article, the authors study the interpretation of macro-level data on international co-authorship collaboration. They address such questions as how one might explain country-to-country differences

Amazonia represents a crucial region of the globe from the point of view of biological research and its technological and economic applications. Awareness of this fact has been growing steadily in recent years for different reasons. On the one hand pollution, soil degradation and population pressure combined to cause so many extinctions of species that some people started to become frightened (I). These people, who see life as intrinsically worth sustaining, put forward moral and ethical reasons for biodiversity conservation. On the other hand molecular biology and genetic engineering, which allow the combination of genes across al taxa, opened up potentially new technologi-cal applications and transformed genes in rare commodities. Since genes come packaged in species, most of them unknown to science (2) and possibly containing useful infor-mation, biodiversity became, at least temporarily, worth protecting for economic reasons. It is biotechnology which establishes the articulation between environmental and economic value of biodiversity, opening up a new action field for global capitalism. In this context, Amazonia-which contains a considerable proportion of the world’s living species (3)- stands out as a particularly important biodiversity region. Some argue that

Research endeavours require the collaborative effort of an increasing number of individuals. International scientific collaborations are particularly important for HIV and HPV co-infection studies, since the burden of disease is rising in developing countries, but most experts and research funds

disparities between European regions. Our research objective is first, to investigate whether existing scientific collaborations between EU regions -as captured by co-publications -are conducive for acquiring FP funding, and second, to study the effects of funding on subsequent co-publication activity between

Science is a global business. Accessing scientific knowledge from around the world is vital for nations to ensure the quality of science and innovation. International scientific collaborations (ISCs) are one of several mechanisms to tap into this global knowledge. This paper reports on the effects

Abstract. Three databases were used to analyse documents written in collaboration between Latin America and Spain from 1984 to 1988, and to determine how the choice of databases affects results. A total of 402 documents was regis-tered in the Science Citation Index while 149 documents were found
