Collaboration in tertiary institutions is the group of two or more researchers working together towards sharing educational and research dreams, achieving common goals, and enhancing collective effort in meeting educational needs in focus. Two (2) objectives and one (1) hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. The survey research design was adopted for the study, and data were gathered using a questionnaire. The target population for the survey is 162 academic scientists. Purposive sampling was used for the selection of three institutions (Federal University Gashua, Federal Polytechnic Damaturu, and Federal College of Education Potiskum).One faculty from university, one school each from polytechnic and college of education with science lecturers. Data were analysed using frequency counts and percentage scores. Chi-square was used for the testing of the hypothesis. Findings revealed that the extent of collaboration in existence among academic scientists was moderate, with 257 (210%). In comparison, the influence of collaboration on the publication output of the academic scientists was agreed by respondents with 448(366%). The result for the hypothesis revealed that there is a significant influence of collaboration on publication output of academic scientists in tertiary institutions in Yobe State, Nigeria since the calculated X2 of 60 is higher than the P-value of 1.149; hence, the hypothesis is rejected. The study recommends, among others, that academic scientists should be encouraged and provided with an enabling environment to promote, enhance, and sustain collaboration to a great extent.esAcademic Scientists, Collaboration, Publication output, and Tertiary Institutions.Article
