Finding international collaboration

What is it?

This metric analyses your output by type of collaboration, which can show your co-authors/collaborators across a region or regions. 

How do I use it? 

You may like to highlight countries/regions that are known to have a strength in your field of research.  It can also demonstrate the international applicability of your research and your ability to create a network of collaborators.
