Abstract: | Since China adopted Open-Up and Reformed Policy for global collaboration, China’s science and technology have experienced
an astounding growth. Papers and patents encompass valuable scientific and technological (S&T) information and collaborative
efforts. This article studies China’s international S&T collaboration from the perspective of paper and patent analysis. The
results show that China’s total papers and patents have continuously increased from 2004 to 2008, the papers and patents resulting
from China’s international collaboration also present a steady growth. However, there is a decline in the share of international
collaboration papers and patents with a certain range due to the rapid independent R&D. China’s international scientific collaboration
(ISC) is broadly distributed over many countries, the USA being the most important ISC partners. China’s international technological
collaboration (ITC) is mainly carried out with USA and Taiwan, and Taiwan has been the most significant ITC partner of when
taking countries’ patent output into account. Besides, ISC shows a continuous raise of Chinese papers’ citation. Even the
countries with a small amount of papers and ISC with China, exert a positive influence on the impact of citation of Chinese
papers as well. However, ITC does not always play an active role in the improvement of citation impact of Chinese patents. |
