Scientometric Study On Scientific Collaboration Pattern And Its Funcation

In today's big science ages, scientific collaboration is increasingly becoming the main quomodo of science research and the main way of developing big science and resolving global problems as the globalizing development of science and technology and as the buildup of analysis and synthesis trend in science itself development. All kinds of domestic and overseas organizations and institutions participate in collaborative research in new modes and new ideas. Scientific collaboration plays an important role in cohering creative thought, getting scientific information, sharing resource, shaping talents with compounding ability in new period, realizing striding development and obtaining the breakthrough in important scientific fields. Just under the background, regarding scientific collaboration as research object, we study its essential law, explore its happening motive, investigate its evolving patterns, show its activity scale from the levels of district, organization and subject, survey the main field, section and subject where it happens. As a research example, we explore the status of collaborative research in nanotechnology field.In this study, we survey the essence of collaboration and the meaning of scientific collaboration firstly. Under the guidance of Marxian theory of productivity and relations of production, and the theory of science productivity and relations of science production in Scientific Capacity of Society, Politics of Science and Institutional Science Studies, we put forward the double functions and double attributions of scientific collaboration under the background of big science. Scientific collaboration is not only the integration model of all the scientific research productivity factors, but also a foundation and precondition of the relations of production. The relations of scientific collaboration are realized in the progress of productivity developing, and it is the social relationship among all the productivity factors and relationship among scientifico in science field. Science collaboration is not only as the collaboration among science producers who are the main body of scientific research, but also as the special relations of production in the science activity. Scientific collaboration is the bridge and tie between science productivity and the relations of science production.Then we analyze quantitatively the method of scientific collaboration and the motivation which leads to scientific collaboration and the problems which happened in the progress of scientific collaboration. Using the method of word frequency analysis, we show the motivation factors of scientific collaboration and dissect the different influence according to the time changing. Co-occurrence analysis is done to the mutul funcation of the motivationfactor. And we also study the main structure of the scientific collaboration and the model of scientific collaboration of research institution. At the same time we study the function of research productivity of scientific collaboration and its method. Using content analysis method, we investigate the attribution of research productivity of scientific collaboration and effect on research achievement. We study the model of scientific collaboration on improvement of research productivity and enhance the quality of research production. At the same time we study quantitatively the status of intersection and interdisciplinary scientific collaboration.As a case of scientific collaboration, we review the status of scientific collaboration in nanotechnology. We analyze the general level from the four facets of scientist, institution, country and subject and the improvement to research achievement by citation analysis. Using the method of network analysis we show the characteristic of network in nanotechnology. Our main aim is trying to find the whole law and model of scientific collaboration and to put forward some valuable information for policy-makers and manager in nanotechnology research.
