“…The conceptual framework for this study is scientific globalism, sometimes referred to as techno-globalism (Cantwell & Grimm, 2018 ). According to Sá and Sabzalieva ( 2018 ), scientific globalism’s basic mission is for the advancement of knowledge and open science, which can be contrasted to scientific nationalism’s focus on economic competitiveness and nation-building.…”

Scientific globalism during a global crisis: research collaboration and open access publications on COVID-19

This study sought to understand the nature of scientific globalism during a global crisis, particularly COVID-19. Findings show that scientific globalism occurs differently when comparing COVID-19 publications with non-COVID-19 publications during as well as before the pandemic. Despite the tense geopolitical climate, countries increased their proportion of international collaboration and open-access publications during the pandemic. However, not all countries engaged more globally. Countries that have been more impacted by the crisis and those with relatively lower GDPs tended to participate more in scientific globalism than their counterparts.

“…They found that both logics coexist, despite various tensions and contradictions in policy. Cantwell and Grimm (2018) similarly propose that academic science is both a global and cooperative enterprise as well as a nationalist endeavor in competition with state rivals. In the case of China, Cantwell and Grimm suggest that the country's rise is a consequence of savvy techno-nationalism, whereas the US and UK's nationalism policies, in favor of right-wing populism, have limited their scientific enterprise.…”

“…Thus, while scientific globalism can be conceptually disentangled from the narrower concept of scientific nationalism, they are, in reality, highly intertwined (Sá and Sabzalieva, 2018;Cantwell & Grimm, 2018;Authors, 2020). In some ways, the two can also be highly synergistic and countries are able to pursue both simultaneously.…”

As the threat of COVID-19 and US-China tensions are increasing, this study focused on this intensifying intersection between geopolitics and global science in the midst of a pandemic. This scientometric study examined the US’ and China’s international collaboration patterns on science and engineering (S&E) COVID-19 articles through the lenses of scientific nationalism and scientific globalism. While scientific nationalism would assume that the current political rhetoric and protectionist policies would lead to a decrease in international collaboration, our findings showed the reverse. The world’s proportion of international collaborations generally increased. Findings also revealed that despite geopolitical tensions, the highest number of internationally coauthored S&E COVID-19 articles between two countries involve the US and China. Their collaboration rate on COVID-19 is higher than during the past five-years as well as on non-COVID-19 articles published during 2020.
