Studies reveal a relatively rich landscape of international
research collaboration among Geographers of the Americas, however, joint
authorship in scholarly publications is quite low. Co-written journal
articles turns out to be a very poor measure of collaboration by a full degree
of magnitude less than other indicators. These data point to the need for
encouraging greater co-authorship of research that is being conducted in
collaborative ways. This workshop thus seeks to support Latin American and
collaborating scholars in understanding how to publish their collaborative
research in academic journals, and explores best practices for joint publication
across borders. This workshop is co-sponsored by the AAG, relative to its
Geography in the Americas program and its NSF-funded AAMIGA Project and the EDGE
Project. Los estudios revelan un paisaje relativamente rico
en la colaboración internacional entre Geógrafos de las Américas, sin embargo,
la autoría conjunta en publicaciones académicas es bastante reducida.
Artículos coescritos en revistas científicas resultan ser una pobre medida de
colaboración comparada con otros indicadores. Este taller por lo tanto
busca dar asistencia a académicos Latinoamericanos y en colaboración para
entender como publicar sus investigaciones trabajadas en conjunto en revistas
académicas, y explorar mejores prácticas para publicaciones conjuntas por sobre
las fronteras. Este taller es copatrocinado por la AAG, con relación a sus
programas, AAMIGA y EDGE, con financiamiento de la National Science Foundation
de los Estados Unidos.
