Figure 6.5.3 highlights the distribution (%) of publications with national*, international* and no collaboration* by each GSRT Research Center for the most recent 5-year period 2006-2010. In terms of the number of puiblications produced by networking activity, the majority of Research Centers were higher other Greek Institutions. There were only a few publications without partnerships. The ATHENA Research Center presented the highest percentage (18.2%) of publications with no collaboration, a value below the Greek average (37.7%).

Publications with international collaboration were higher than those with Greek-based institutions in the case of four Research Centers: BSCR FLEMING, NOA, NHRF and HCMR. BSCR FLEMING shows the sharpest pattern of association with international institutions in publications (69%).

The percentage of nationally co-authored publications ranged from 48.6% in HCMR and 89.5% in CE.RE.TE.TH. A high percentage above 70% was recorded for ATHENA (71.5%).
