Study on International Researcher Cooperation Networks to Build Research Collaboration Competence in ASEAN Country.

The study on international researcher cooperation networks to build research collaboration competence in ASEAN countries was conducted as part of the high-performance manpower development plan under Strategies 3 and 4 of Program Management Unit for Human Resources & Institutional Development, Research and Innovation (PMU-B). The study began by understanding the business and gathering information on leading ASEAN researchers from five selected industries: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Quantum, Earth and Space, High Energy Physics, and Bio Circular Green Economy (BCG). The data was collected from the databases of SCOPUS and SciVal, total number 8,220 items. The data was then analyzed using descriptive and diagnostic methods to examine the trend and distribution of talented people in ASEAN. The results were categorized based on the production of research articles in the past 10 years, which can help the ASEAN community collaborate on research and determine research directions with the intention of creating an impact for the ASEAN group in the future. The study’s findings will be used to design and develop the ASEAN Talent Mobility platform, which will be a tool used to drive the creation of a collaborative network of international researchers in groups in ASEAN countries.
