Inside Massey University's largest research partnership: University of Auckland

Behind Massey University's research output sits a defining relationship: 2,231 co-authored works with University of Auckland (New Zealand) in the five years to 2025, the university's single largest collaboration.

It anchors an unusually connected research base: 998 collaborating institutions across 72 countries, producing 13,016 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 44% of output.

The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 2.95, where the world average is 1.0.
