摘要

Background

Cambodia’s higher education institutions (HEIs) face several challenges. Academics require increased access to resources and funding, as well as restrictions on academic freedom and significant language and cultural barriers. The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the individual factors influencing academicians’ research productivity in Cambodian higher education institutions, to examine and evaluate the impact of institutional factors on research productivity, and to investigate and assess the external factors affecting research productivity and develop strategies to mitigate negative impacts while increasing positive influences.

Methods

This study employs a rigorous qualitative method, with insights gained through interviews and policy analysis. This comprehensive approach provides a thorough understanding of Cambodia’s current academic research landscape, highlighting areas that require policy-driven solutions.

Results

The findings emphasize the critical need for policies that are tailored to the Cambodian academic context. There is a clear need to foster stronger domestic and international research collaborations as well as mechanisms that encourage long-term research development.

Conclusion

This study proposes a set of focused policy recommendations designed to overcome these challenges and enhance the research productivity of Cambodian HEIs. These policies, if implemented, have the potential to significantly improve the research landscape in Cambodian HEIs, fostering a sense of hope and optimism among the academic community.
