International research collaboration (IRC) is associated with both positive and negative effects on the performance of research in emerging economies. While some authors claim that North–South collaborations improve scientific quality and visibility for Southern countries, others claim that it may entail the reorientation of research to comply with Northern agendas. South–South collaborations are thought to increase the focus on local affairs, therefore leading to a relatively small number of scientific international publications appearing in “high quality” journals. Research on the impact of IRC beyond publications in international journals has been neglected despite the importance of other products in knowledge creation. This research uses a broad range of scientific outputs to empirically assess such assumptions and explore the outcomes of IRC in Colombia. Results from multivariate regressions and nonparametric analyses show that, contrary to common assumptions, Colombian research teams collaborating with partners from the global South report higher scientific production, while those collaborating with Northern countries seem to contribute to local knowledge the most.

探索南北和南南研究合作对新兴经济体的影响，哥伦比亚案例

国际研究合作 (IRC) 对新兴经济体的研究绩效产生积极和消极影响。虽然一些作者声称南北合作提高了南方国家的科学质量和知名度，但其他人声称这可能需要重新调整研究方向以符合北方议程。南南合作被认为增加了对地方事务的关注，因此导致出现在“高质量”期刊上的科学国际出版物数量相对较少。尽管其他产品在知识创造中很重要，但对 IRC 在国际期刊发表之外的影响的研究一直被忽视。本研究使用广泛的科学成果对此类假设进行实证评估，并探索哥伦比亚 IRC 的成果。多元回归和非参数分析的结果表明，与普遍假设相反，与全球南方合作伙伴合作的哥伦比亚研究团队报告了更高的科学产出，而与北方国家合作的研究团队似乎对当地知识的贡献最大。
