Background of the Study
Academic research collaboration is vital for advancing knowledge and innovation; however, many universities face challenges in optimizing networks that connect researchers across various disciplines. At Federal University Gashua, Yobe State, there is an increasing emphasis on leveraging AI-powered systems to streamline and enhance academic research collaboration. This study explores how AI can optimize research networks by mapping, analyzing, and strengthening connections among scholars. Advanced algorithms are employed to sift through extensive datasets—such as publication records, research interests, and funding histories—to identify potential partnerships that may otherwise be overlooked (Davis, 2023; Nguyen, 2024). Traditional networking methods are often limited by geographical and departmental silos, which impede interdisciplinary collaboration. AI-driven solutions offer a promising alternative by rapidly processing data and suggesting collaborations based on complementary expertise and research trajectories (Patel, 2025). Moreover, integrating AI into research collaboration networks can improve resource allocation and foster high-impact projects by highlighting emerging trends and facilitating targeted partnerships. Despite these benefits, challenges such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and integration with existing systems remain. The study provides a comprehensive framework that evaluates both technical capabilities and institutional barriers to implementing AI-powered collaboration networks. By examining these factors, the research seeks to offer recommendations that can enhance communication and cooperation among academic departments, ultimately boosting research productivity and innovation (Kim, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
Federal University Gashua struggles with fragmented research networks that limit effective collaboration among scholars. Traditional methods for forming research partnerships are often inefficient, relying on manual processes that lead to underutilized resources and missed opportunities for interdisciplinary research (Roberts, 2023). The absence of a systematic, technology-driven approach exacerbates these challenges, making it difficult for researchers to identify potential collaborators. While AI-powered systems promise to address these issues through data-driven insights, their implementation is hindered by technical hurdles such as data integration, algorithm accuracy, and system interoperability (Clark, 2024). Furthermore, cultural resistance among faculty—especially those accustomed to conventional collaboration methods—impedes the adoption of new technologies. Limited technical expertise and inadequate infrastructure further complicate the integration process, resulting in a gap between technological potential and practical application. The lack of real-time analytics and dynamic matching algorithms also restricts the ability to adapt to rapidly changing research landscapes. This study intends to address these multifaceted challenges by assessing the structural and technical impediments to effective AI-powered research collaboration. It aims to develop a comprehensive model that integrates AI tools with existing research practices, thus fostering stronger, more responsive academic networks. The ultimate goal is to enhance resource utilization, improve communication across departments, and support high-impact interdisciplinary research initiatives.
