    La colaboración constituye una práctica generalizada en las actividades de investigación, cuyas características e implicaciones se han analizado generalmente a partir de las coautorías de las publicaciones científicas. Con el objeto de profundizar en el conocimiento de este fenómeno, se ha administrado un cuestionario a una muestra de 3070 investigadores de las universidades de la Comunidad Valenciana (España), analizando por ramas de conocimiento (Artes y Humanidades, Ciencias, Ciencias de la Salud, Ciencias Sociales y Jurídicas e Ingeniería y Arquitectura), categorías académicas y sexo, cómo se establecen los contactos entre los investigadores (pre-colaboración), el desarrollo de la colaboración como proceso (tareas y motivos principales para colaborar, número de colaboradores habituales y factores personales y a nivel de grupos de investigación que hacen que la colaboración resulte exitosa), el grado de satisfacción con la plasmación del trabajo en colaboración a través de las publicaciones científicas e identificando los problemas y barreras que dificultan la colaboración.

    Collaboration is a widespread practice in research activities, whose characteristics and implications are usually analyzed from the co-authorship of scientific publications. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 3070 researchers from the universities of the Valencian Region (Spain), in order to deepen the knowledge of this phenomenon, analyzing by branches of knowledge (Arts & Humanities, Sciences, Health Sciences, Social & Legal Sciences, Engineering & Architecture), academic categories and sex, how the contacts between researchers have been established (pre-collaboration); the development of collaboration as a process (main tasks and motives for collaboration, number of regular collaborators and personal and group factors that make the collaboration successful); the degree of satisfaction with the presentation of collaborative work through scientific publications; and identifying the problems and barriers that hamper it.
