Abstract:

This study aims to improve research, publication, and outreach partnerships in ASEAN high- and low-performing institutions. It stresses research integrity and compliance, stressing that top universities value ethical data management, communication, and error repair. Researchers must follow human subject, animal, and environmental rules and well-established methods to prevent research misconduct such as fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. Lower-performing institutions struggle with research collaboration, unclear laws, and bureaucratic impediments. Data was collected from Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and less successful universities like Myanmar, Cambodia, and Timor Leste using qualitative methods like focus group talks and document analysis. Two collaboration-focused platforms were created from the findings. This research seeks to close ASEAN institution performance gaps. Sustainable scientific collaboration and institutional development frameworks are essential for the future. Formal collaborations between high- and low-performing universities can spur creative research and enhance resource allocation, creating a more equal academic environment. Mentorship programs from top schools should be used in collaborative approaches to improve lower-performing university researchers’ skills. Technology-enabled communication and data sharing promote research community transparency and accountability. Developing an inclusive research ecosystem requires continual evaluation of collaboration outputs and adjusting to changing academic difficulties to promote sustained institutional growth.
