| Oct 29, 2015 at 12:47 | comment | added | David Richerby | @SnakeDoc Other academics won't care that the asker worked with somebody from country C. But the question expresses the concern that the government of the asker's country of citizenship might care about him working with somebody from that country. | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 1:29 | comment | added | cfr | @SnakeDoc 'Get a better home country' is easier said than done, even if the OP is prepared to permanently sever all ties with family and friends. | |
| Oct 28, 2015 at 18:48 | comment | added | SnakeDoc | @OrangeDog Possibly - I can't imagine any USA researchers (or the gov't) reacting with hostility to a North Korean researcher working in collaboration. Perhaps the North Korean government might... but I'd say then for the OP to get a better home country. At a point in research, borders don't make sense (as evidenced in this very thread, the OP is afraid to conduct research based on their country of origin - what a waste!) | |
| Oct 28, 2015 at 18:43 | comment | added | OrangeDog | @SnakeDoc USA and North Korea? Russia and Ukraine? Israel and Iran? Especially if the research has military applications. | |
| Oct 28, 2015 at 18:02 | comment | added | SnakeDoc | You may be over-estimating the severity of this issue. In the academia world, rarely are others shunned simply because of their country of origin (science, and for the most part other disciplines, simply doesn't care). Look at the Russian and US astronauts still working together (even sharing return vehicles) in the ISS. | |

| Oct 28, 2015 at 13:53 | comment | added | recursion.ninja | Find two suitable very large prime numbers. Multiply them together. Publish the resulting semi-prime along with the paper. When claiming authorship, show that you can factor the semi-prime published with the paper. Luckily, modern cryptographic software will do the hard work of finding two suitable large primes for you! The fundamentals of the RSA public-key encryption system to the rescue again! | |
| Oct 28, 2015 at 6:09 | comment | added | Alexander Woo | It matters a great deal how seriously officials in country A are looking. The situation where the government is seriously policing who researchers collaborate with and acting on any plausible rumours they hear (or even actively looking for any signs of such collaboration) is very different from the situation where most officials don't care but would want you to have plausible deniability so they don't face problems from the minority who do care. | |

| Oct 27, 2015 at 15:26 | comment | added | Andrew is gone | The "don't worry about coauthorship, leave your name off the paper and get a recommendation letter" approach seems overwhelmingly better than the other suggestions - I'd just go ahead with that. Much simpler, much less to go wrong. | |
