作者:

Highlights:

• Bibliometric approaches are applied to quantify publications’ impact and collaboration activity of the authors based on their affiliation.

• Scholars’ geographical diversity plays an important role in their research impact.

• Publication impact has stronger associations with the numbers of external collaborations at department and institution levels.

• Conversely, national collaboration correlates better with impact than international collaboration.
