Abstract
The Information Services Office (ISO) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted a study to assess the impact of NIST researcher collaborations by looking at the NIST papers co-authored with other researchers external to NIST. This request from NIST senior management focused on the number of unique non-NIST co-authors on NISTauthored papers and the number of unique institutions which NIST collaborates with on publications for the past five years.
