Abstract
This study offers a detailed examination of scientific collaboration between Cuba and China, focusing on research publications in journals indexed in WoS and Scopus between 1990 and 2022. The findings shed light on a remarkable upward trajectory in collaborative efforts between these two nations, showcasing a 30-fold increase in co-authored articles in 2022 compared to 1990. Within this burgeoning landscape of collaboration, the study underscores that the majority of these publications (91.1%) are concentrated in Natural and Health Sciences. It is evident that China has taken the lead in partnering with Cuba in pioneering fields such as Physics & Astronomy, Clinical Medicine, and Biomedical Research. This fact underscores the vital role of this partnership in advancing knowledge frontiers and the practical applications of these disciplines. Furthermore, the study brings to the forefront the impressive growth of the Cuban scientific collaboration network, doubling in size from 1990 to 2022. This development signifies not only the quantity but also the quality of collaborations, reflecting positively on the scientific research endeavors of both countries. The study’s findings not only validate the significance of this collaboration but also offer a glimpse into its promising future, emphasizing the importance of sustained cooperation in addressing complex global challenges and advancing scientific knowledge.
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.
