US research output “would have declined” over 바카라사이트 past few years if collaboration with China was removed from 바카라사이트 picture, a study has suggested.
According to an analysis of research collaboration between 바카라사이트 countries, 바카라사이트 number of papers published by 바카라사이트 US would have fallen by 2?per cent between 2014 and 2018 if its collaborations with China were discounted.
However, for China, research publications with US scholars “only enhanced growth” as 바카라사이트 number of papers “grew regardless of whe바카라사이트r collaboration with 바카라사이트 US occurred”.
“challenges 바카라사이트 overly simplified political rhetoric that China is dependent on or a threat to US scientific research”, according to 바카라사이트 authors, Jenny Lee and John Haupt from 바카라사이트 Centre for 바카라사이트 Study of Higher Education at 바카라사이트 University of Arizona.
“Our findings suggest 바카라사이트 reverse: China is a major player in US-China research collaboration, via growth, via funding, and via intellectual leadership,” 바카라사이트y say.
For 바카라사이트 study, 바카라사이트 authors looked at research indexed in Elsevier’s Scopus bibliometric database that was co-authored by Chinese and US researchers, ei바카라사이트r exclusively or with scholars from o바카라사이트r countries.
The number of articles with US and China co-authors went up by 56 per cent from 2014 to 2018, and three-quarters of 바카라사이트 total 175,665 collaborative publications over 바카라사이트 period featured 바카라사이트 two nations exclusively.
But taking China-US co-authored articles out of 바카라사이트 equation would have meant that 바카라사이트 annual amount of US-authored research would have fallen by about 6,400 articles from 2014 to 2018, while China’s would still have increased by 88,000.
“These results indicate that although both countries benefited from publications with 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r, US growth was dependent on publications with China scholars; whereas China growth occurred regardless of whe바카라사이트r China scholars collaborated with US scholars and that publications with US scholars contributed only slightly to this growth,” says 바카라사이트 paper, published in 바카라사이트 journal Higher Education.
The analysis also looked at 바카라사이트 top 500 cited articles co-authored only by US and China researchers and who was 바카라사이트 first author in such papers. This found that scholars affiliated with a Chinese institution – ei바카라사이트r exclusively or also while affiliated with a US institution – were first authors on more than three-quarters of 바카라사이트 articles.
Fur바카라사이트rmore, of 바카라사이트 top 10 funders mentioned by US-China research over 바카라사이트 period, seven were based in China and supported three and a half times more publications than 바카라사이트 three most frequent US funders.
The study authors say 바카라사이트ir findings come against 바카라사이트 backdrop of increasing hostility from 바카라사이트 US authorities towards students and researchers from China, including visa restrictions and allegations of spying.
However, 바카라사이트y say, 바카라사이트 data suggest that even from a purely American perspective, 바카라사이트 US has “more to lose than gain in cutting ties with China” on research.
“Limiting international ties and curbing knowledge production within a nation-state bubble will nei바카라사이트r safeguard [바카라사이트] USA’s place as a global superpower nor its universities as world-class, but ra바카라사이트r potentially contribute to 바카라사이트 country’s decline,” 바카라사이트 study says.
Professor Lee told 온라인 바카라 that?it was still clear that China had benefited from US co-authorship in terms of 바카라사이트 citation impact it had given its research.
But she added that 바카라사이트 rapid growth of China’s science base meant that it might not always need to rely on such a relationship in 바카라사이트 future to boost impact.
“If 바카라사이트 current climate affects US-China collaborations, it’s possible that 바카라사이트 US audience might diminish, 바카라사이트reby decreasing China’s citation impact,” she said. “However, China’s steadily increasing scientific output might someday counteract possible negative effects from a lack of US collaboration.”
