The results indicate that the importance and propensity of co-authorship is expanding in design research. Furthermore, the impact of an article, measured by year-adjusted citation counts, is significantly greater when it is co-authored. The structure of the co-authorship network is mostly comprised of small yet unconnected groups of authors, who seldom collaborate beyond a single article.engrestrictedAccessarticle22152700046454870000210.1080/14606925.2018.1560879BibliometricsCo-authorshipCollaborationDesign researchDesign disciplinesPublication patterns2-s2.0-85064432316
