International Coauthorship.
A strong trend is evident toward international coauthorship. (Click here for footnote 30.) (See appendix table 5-24.) In 1991, 11 percent of the world's scientific and technical articles were internationally
coauthored, double the proportion of a decade earlier. This rise in coauthorship has affected all major fields. The earth and space sciences, mathematics, and physics have the largest percentages of coauthored articles. (See figure 5-15.)
Footnote 30:
In international coauthorship situations, at least one author's institutional affiliation is in a country different from that of the other(s).
