Purpose – Recent studies report that China is becoming a leading nation in the quantity of scientific
output, including in the emerging field of nanotechnology. In nanotechnology, bibliometric measures
based on citations also indicate improvements in the research impacts of Chinese scientific papers. The
purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of international collaboration, including the role of
knowledge moderation through Chinese researchers who collaborate in both domestic and
international scientific cooperation, on the impacts of Chinese nanotechnology research publications.
Design/methodology/approach – Using a nanotechnology publication dataset, bibliometric
analysis and statistical testing are adopted to explore the issues …

This paper examines the rapid growth of China in the field of nanotechnology and the rise of collaboration between China and the US in this emerging domain. Chinese scientific papers in nanotechnology are analyzed to indicate overall trends, leading fields and the most prolific institutions. Patterns of China–US nanotechnology paper co-authorship are examined over the period 1990–2009, with an analysis of how these patterns have changed over time. The paper combines bibliometric analysis and science mapping. We find rapid development in the number of China–US co-authored nanotechnology papers as well as structural changes in array of collaborative nanotechnology sub-fields. Implications …
