2010 S&E Indicators

• S&E research articles continue to indicate increasing collaboration across institutions in the United States and internationally.

• Coauthored articles grew from 40% of the world's total S&E articles in 1988 to 64% in 2008. Coauthored articles listing only authors from different institutions in the same country increased from 32% of all articles in 1988 to 42% in 2008. Articles listing authors from institutions in more than one country grew from 8% to 22% over the same period.

• Within-sector coauthorship increased in all U.S. sectors, growing, for example, from 38% of academic S&E article output in 1998 to 45% in 2008. Cross-sector coauthorship increased generally, mainly due to an increase of 7–10 percentage points in each nonacademic sector's coauthorship with academia. U.S. sector coauthorship with foreign authors grew in all sectors by 7–10 percentage points. 3

Parting Thoughts

“ As our compliance burden and community's demand for services grow, we can no longer manage our online identities as a cottage industry. We have to know who can access what and why and be able to align this with the changing requirements of the academy. ”

Jeffrey von Munkwitz-SmithUniversity Registrar, University of ConnecticutPresident-elect, AACRAO Board of Directors

Alternative Parting Thoughts“ The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace describes a vision of the future—an Identity Ecosystem—where individuals, businesses, and other organizations enjoy greater trust and security as they conduct sensitive transactions online. The Identity Ecosystem is a user-centric online environment, a set of technologies, policies, and agreed upon standards that securely supports transactions ranging from anonymous to fully authenticated and from low to high value. “
