This volume examines research productivity within schools in Latin America and the Caribbean
(LAC) and presents examples of various successful LAC North-South programs which have propelled
university research in the region. Much of the scholarly work on North-South research to date
has concentrated principally on joint publications and co-authorship bibliometrics. In this
book cases are explored within the context of study on international research collaborations
to highlight the motivations mechanics limitations and success factors involved in the
North-South relationships and their resulting research output.
