Factors that Influence the Individual Research Output of University Professors: The Case of Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia

Abstract:

The study analyzed the factors that influence the individual research output of university professors in Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia, using multinomial logistic regression technique. Results showed that previous research publications are the main factor that explains subsequent research production. Age, academic rank, time invested on research, resource allocation, recognition, and research leaders have also a direct effect on research output. A comprehensive model is proposed and implications for universities authorities are discussed.
