Study on the structure and evolution characteristics of international collaborative innovation network of nano science and technology

Abstract

Abstract: This paper conducts a systematic analysis on international collaborative innovation network of nano science and technology. The paper delineates the general characteristics of the collaborative network, and utilizes the methods like Gini coefficient, core-edge distribution, centrality, clustering, and data visualization to analyze its structure and evolution characteristics. The paper finds that the role of China becomes increasingly significant in the collaborative network. France and South Africa plays an intermediary role as a bridge in the network. More and more countries realize the importance of nano science and technology, and make their endeavor on promoting the development of their own country's nano science and technology through international collaboration.

Key words: nano science and technology, international collaboration, network structure, evolution characteristics, bibliometrics
