“…Consequently, when interest emerged in the phenomenon of international collaboration [5,15,31,33,34,43,44,46,47,50,55 ], it was sometimes assumed that it could simply be equated with papers listing addresses in two (or more) countries. Similarly, studies of inter-institutional collaboration generally take as their starting point the belief that this can be measured by examining papers listing two (or more) institutional addresses.…”

“…This provided reliable quantization basis for development of scientific collaboration and policy making of each country. Bibliometric has been the key way to quantitive research on the problems of international collaboration [BRAUN & AL., 1992;OKUBO & AL., 1992;ARUNACHALAM & AL., 1994;GLÄNZEL, 2001]. ZHANG & GUO [1997] analyzed 1,218 Chinese journals on publication for the inspection and found that only 1.58% of the total was from international collaborations.…”

Collaboration is one of the remarkable characteristics of contemporary basic research. Using bibliometric method, we quantitatively analyze international collaboration publication output between China and the G7 countries based on Science Citation Index. The results indicate that international collaboration publication output between China and the G7 countries has shown exponential growth aroused by the growth of science in China. USA is the most important collaboration country and the international collaboration between China and the G7 countries display differences at each research field.

“…Within the field of scientometrics, association strength has been recommended as preferable (Eck and Waltman 2009) over other similarity measures (e.g., cosine, inclusion index or Jaccard index). Previous studies have employed AFI and/or PAI to analyze the level of similarity in different fields of science (Okubo et al 1992), the ''continentalization of science'' (Leclerc and Gagné 1994), the effects of historical, cultural and linguistic proximities in stablishing partnerships in consolidated scientific systems (Zitt et al 2000), inter-sectoral cooperation between two countries (Yamashita and Okubo 2006), and the strength of scientific linkages among the emergent countries (Finardi and Buratti 2016). But no previous study has, to the best of our knowledge, applied these measures to analyze the connections constructed through mobility.…”

This study explores the international profiles in collaboration and mobility of countries included in the so-called ''travel bans'' implemented by US President Trump as executive order in 2017. The objective of this research is to analyze the exchange of knowledge between countries and the relative importance of specific countries in order to inform evidence-based science policy. The work serves as a proof-of-concept of the utility of asymmetry and affinity indexes for collaboration and mobility. Comparative analyses of these indicators can be useful for informing immigration policies and motivating collaboration and mobility relationships-emphasizing the importance of geographic and cultural similarities. Egocentric and relational perspectives are analyzed to provide various lenses on the importance of countries. Our analysis suggests that comparisons of
