No Opinion

2. I have co-authored publications with international collaborators. If yes, please estimate the
percentage of your publications that are internationally co-authored.
Yes
No
If yes, what percentage (between 0 and 100)?

3. I engage in international collaboration because (check all that apply):
Highly cited research is being conducted outside the U.S.
There are unique facilities outside the U.S.for which I need access.
There are experts outside the U.S. with whom I wish to collaborate.
I want my students/post docs to have an international research experience.
I would like to build research capacity in the developing world.
