“…In many cases, the national politics and diplomatic relations between states have become less important in determining S&E collaborations, even as it continues to hinder collaboration between some scientific communities supported by opposing states (Jeanmonod and Firstenberg 2019;Sugimoto et al 2017). Instead of politics, intrinsic factors, such as the availability of resources and equipment as well as the nature of the issues being addressed, have taken precedence (Jang and Ko 2019;Leydesdorff, Park, and Wagner 2014;Wagner 2018). For example, in the field of astronomy where large expense projects are common, international collaboration increased to 54% of articles, the highest of any field (NSB, NSF 2018;Coccia and Wang 2016).…”

“…However, in China, the ratio of international cooperative papers in physics is much lower than that in Europe or the United States and even lags behind other East Asian countries (Huang et al, 2011). Another recent study in high‐energy physics among 13 latecomer countries has shown that international cooperation could significantly promote output quantity and quality, but China had the lowest ratio of international cooperative publications among the 13 countries (Jang & Ko, 2019). This study provides new evidence demonstrating how physicists benefit from daily international visits/invites.…”

A 4-year data set of 274 scientists and technical staff in a Chinese university's physics department was constructed to study the impact of going on international visits (visit) and inviting international scholars (invite) on researchers' academic output. Results showed visit frequency significantly predicted output quantity and quality whereas invites significantly predicted output quantity, but not its quality. Visit/invite frequencies significantly predicted long-term output through short-term output, giving direct proof to their enduring promotion effect on innovation. Visits predicted far-future output through near-future visits whereas invites did not lead to more invites in promoting output. Age moderated the relationship between visits/invites and output. This study provided new evidence on the behavioral and psychological process of international mobility and its impact on research output.

“…Chinchilla-Rodriguez et al ( 2019 ) note that China, Iran and Brazil have large systems, lower overall rates of international collaboration than most other systems, strong national networks and regional or global leadership roles (p. 6). In their study of high energy physics, Jang and Ko ( 2019 ) also identify China and Iran as countries following an ‘independent’ trajectory, with emphasis on national system building, though the growing role of collaborative infrastructure meant that all national systems became more internationalised after 2010. Similarly, Choi ( 2012 ) focuses on the ‘new rising stars’ Turkey and Korea, whose shared trajectory, underpinned by strong government investment in R&D, was national system building followed by accelerated international collaboration and global degree centrality (pp.…”

Since 1990, a large and dynamic global science system has evolved, based on grass roots collaboration, and resting on the resources, infrastructure and personnel housed by national science systems. Euro-American science systems have become intensively networked in a global duopoly; and many other countries have built national science systems, including a group of large- and middle-sized countries that follow semi-autonomous trajectories based on state investment, intensive national network building, and international engagement, without integrating tightly into the global duopoly. The dual global/national approach pursued by these systems, including China, South Korea, Iran and India, is not always fully understood in papers on science. Nevertheless, China is now the number two science country in the world, the largest producer of papers and number one in parts of STEM physical sciences. The paper investigates the remarkable evolution of China’s science funding, output, discipline balance, internationalisation strategy and national and global networking. China has combined global activity and the local/national building of science in positive sum manner, on the ground of the nationally nested science system. The paper also discusses limits of the achievement, noting that while China-US relations have been instrumental in building science, a partial decoupling is occurring and the future is unclear.
