Collaborative research networks in Higher Education An integrative review
Redes de pesquisa colaborativa no Ensino Superior: uma revisão integrativa
Palavras-chave:
Collaborative research networks; Higher education; Scientific collaboration.Resumo
This study investigates the determining factors for the success of collaborative research networks in higher education, focusing on the formation, development, and operation of these networks. Despite the growing recognition of the importance of collaborative networks, there is a lack of studies that comprehensively identify the critical factors for their success. Utilizing an integrative literature review, the research was conducted in the ERIC, Web of Science (WOS), and Scopus databases. The main research question is: what factors influence the success of collaborative research networks in higher education? The findings indicate that the effectiveness of these networks is influenced by structural, functional, and evaluative factors. The integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) is essential for effective collaboration, allowing geographically dispersed teams to work together efficiently. The study concludes that public policies that value collaborative networks are necessary to promote an environment conducive to integration and scientific collaboration. This study contributes to the understanding of the elements that influence the success of collaborative research networks, highlighting the importance of integration, diversity, funding, and knowledge sharing, with significant implications for the formulation of policies and practices in higher education.
