Abstract

China’s rise in science has the potential to push forward the knowledge frontier, but mere production of knowledge does not guarantee that others are able to build on it. We ask whether chemistry research originating from China offers broad shoulders for follow-on scientists to stand on. We show that even after carefully controlling for the quality of Chinese research, Chinese scientists’ articles receive on average 28% fewer citations from US researchers, relative to scientists from other countries. Only Chinese researchers with unusually deep networks in the US can overcome, at least in part, the citation discount.

谁站在中国（科学）巨人的肩膀上？化学证据

中国在科学领域的崛起有可能推动知识前沿的发展，但仅仅生产知识并不能保证其他人能够在此基础上更上一层楼。我们要问的是，源自中国的化学研究是否能为后继科学家提供广阔的发展空间。我们的研究表明，即使对中国研究的质量进行了仔细的控制，中国科学家的文章从美国研究人员那里获得的引用次数也比其他国家的科学家平均少 28%。只有在美国拥有异常深厚网络的中国研究人员才能克服（至少部分克服）引用折扣。

期刊介绍： Research Policy (RP) articles explore the interaction between innovation, technology, or research, and economic, social, political, and organizational processes, both empirically and theoretically. All RP papers are expected to provide insights with implications for policy or management. Research Policy (RP) is a multidisciplinary journal focused on analyzing, understanding, and effectively addressing the challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D, and science. This includes activities related to knowledge creation, diffusion, acquisition, and exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes, or services, across economic, policy, management, organizational, and environmental dimensions.
