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 …
