Abstract

Co-authored publications can bring positive results for those who participate, such as gaining additional expertise, accessing more funding or increasing the publication impact. China, the European Union, and the United States have been collaborating between each other throughout the years in the field of Computer Science. These collaborations varied over time, as well as they impacted the regions in different ways. In this paper, we collected the publications from these territories across 31 years on the topic of Computer Science and studied them focusing on how the regions have approached co-authorship. In particular, we have analyzed the number of collaborations during that period, the impact of those papers measured as the number of citations, and the topics that have been researched. We conclude that China’s focus on Computer Science fields has led it to be the most productive region in recent years; plus, it has benefited from the American and European reputation, by increasing its citation rates when collaborating with them. On the other hand, the EU and the US have benefited from Chinese interest in computer science, increasing the number of publications together.

计算机科学国际合作的益处：中国、欧盟和美国的案例研究

合著出版物可以为参与者带来积极的成果，如获得更多的专业知识、获得更多的资金或提高出版物的影响力。多年来，中国、欧盟和美国一直在计算机科学领域相互合作。这些合作随着时间的推移而变化，并以不同的方式对各地区产生影响。在本文中，我们收集了这些地区 31 年来以计算机科学为主题的出版物，并重点研究了这些地区是如何处理合作著作权的。特别是，我们分析了这一时期的合作数量、以引用次数衡量的这些论文的影响力以及研究的主题。我们得出的结论是，中国对计算机科学领域的关注使其成为近年来成果最丰硕的地区；此外，中国还得益于美国和欧洲的声誉，在与它们合作时提高了论文引用率。另一方面，欧盟和美国也从中国对计算机科学的兴趣中受益，共同增加了发表论文的数量。

期刊介绍： Scientometrics aims at publishing original studies, short communications, preliminary reports, review papers, letters to the editor and book reviews on scientometrics. The topics covered are results of research concerned with the quantitative features and characteristics of science. Emphasis is placed on investigations in which the development and mechanism of science are studied by means of (statistical) mathematical methods. The Journal also provides the reader with important up-to-date information about international meetings and events in scientometrics and related fields. Appropriate bibliographic compilations are published as a separate section. Due to its fully interdisciplinary character, Scientometrics is indispensable to research workers and research administrators throughout the world. It provides valuable assistance to librarians and documentalists in central scientific agencies, ministries, research institutes and laboratories. Scientometrics includes the Journal of Research Communication Studies. Consequently its aims and scope cover that of the latter, namely, to bring the results of research investigations together in one place, in such a form that they will be of use not only to the investigators themselves but also to the entrepreneurs and research workers who form the object of these studies.
