Abstract

With the rise of new technologies and means of collaboration, we are entering a new phase in the scientific field in which academics are seeking to take advantage of the benefits that international collaboration offers. One such advantage is the increased impact, measured in the number of citations, of those works carried out jointly by more than one country. This paper aims to demonstrate that this is also the case in the field of business studies carried out in Spain. To this end, we have measured the average number of citations and the h-index of all articles published in this field by Spanish authors at different levels of collaboration: local (the authors belong to the same affiliation), national (the authors belong to more than one affiliation, all from Spain) and international (at least one of the authors is from a foreign country). The results show that the highest average number of citations and the highest h-index is obtained at the international collaboration level. In addition, a comparison of the different Spanish universities was made, showing that there are differences between them with respect to the degree of international collaboration. This study is intended to be the basis for agents interested in improving scientific policies in this field in Spain to obtain a global vision of the state of international collaboration and to be able to go further into the future to improve their policies.
