The Measurement,Evolution,and Relationship between Country Disparity and Team Impact
International scientific collaboration has become an important avenue for knowledge creation that contributes to scientific breakthroughs.International collaboration not only reflects the cooperative motivations of individual scientists but also demonstrates the interdependence and cooperation among countries in socio-economic and scientific activities.In this study,we explore the relationship between country disparity and team impact by examining the national attributes of the team members of scientific publications.First,we quantified the"distances"between countries along various dimen-sions such as geography,economy,culture,and scientific activities,and applied principal component analysis to extract three main components of the comprehensive disparity among countries.We then examined the associations between the three disparity scores and team impact.The findings reveal significant negative correlations of cultural disparity and re-search investment disparity with team impact.Conversely,there is a significant positive correlation between collaboration disparity and team impact.These research findings hold policy implication for the formulation,maintenance,and manage-ment of international scientific teams and are expected to contribute to improving the performance of international teams.
