  • The Essence of Citation Analysis and Conditioned Premise for Academic Evaluation
  • 2013 Vol. 31 (8): 1121-1127.
  • Abstract ( )
  • As is a pattern of scientific conversation, the citation is an important method to avoid academic plagiarism and guarantee the reliability of research, which is a must be existing premise for academy. The research based on rationalism, empiricism and utilitarianism manifests that using citation analysis to evaluate academy is rational and reasonable, but to its specific evaluation function, there is no direct connection between the rationality and reliability. Using it as a tool to evaluate academy, the premise is to differentiate the substantial citation, procedural citation and formalistic citation, meanwhile, two kinds of behavioral mistakes, abandoned true errors and take pseudo errors, are often happened during the process of citation, the statistics and analysis on their probability is needed.
  • Subgraph structural equivalence based role identification of scientists’ collaboration network
  • 2013 Vol. 31 (8): 1128-1135.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Identification of the local structure of scientists’ collaboration network can help understand the cooperative behavior of scientists. Based on complex network subgraph and social network structural equivalence, the subgraph structural equivalence based role identification method was proposed, and applied to the role analysis of the collaboration network involving scientists from complex network research. Using 11 kinds of node-positions in the six 4-node subgraphs, the node-position properties of the scientists’ collaboration network were investigated. It was found that the 11 kinds of node-positions can be divided into three categories of roles, i.e., core, intermediary, and edge. The diversity of the roles of scientists was also found, and the number of role types was positively correlated with degree, betweenness and closeness centrality measures. The top 20 scientists (degree ranked) were divided into two subgroups, based on the distributions of the relative number of roles. The study provides a quantitative method for role analysis of individual actors in social cooperation networks.
  • Measure and analysis of the international research collaboration in China
  • 2013 Vol. 31 (8): 1136-1140.
  • Abstract ( )
  • In the background of the growing tendency that S&T resources flow and configure globally, the international collaboration helps improve the national ability to control and deploy the resources on a global scale. Based on the international co-author papers from SCI 2000-2010 and bibliometrics and social network analysis, the overall development trend, the preference in the subject areas, the position variance between the strong and weak subject areas, the international dependency of high-quality research are analyzed from the view of Chinese international collaboration. The results show that China actively and widely carries out international research collaboration and increasingly improve its dominant position. However, the singularity of the international collaboration rate and position exists, and a high international dependency of high-quality research appears.
  • An empirical analysis of international collaboration characteristics in excellent academics from published year and national perspective
  • 2013 Vol. 31 (8): 1141-1151.
  • Abstract ( )
  • This paper analyzes the collaborative characteristics and trends of excellent academics taking the view of age and space on national level. Based on H-index papers of C9 league from Web of Science, the major findings of this study are presented as follows: (1) Project 211 and Project 985 not only greatly promote international collaboration but also improve the structure of collaborative nations;(2) Both the ratio related collaborated outputs to all outputs of C9 league and collaborated outputs go through 3 stages, while the different performance between the two reveals the way laying the excellent academics on the international collaboration goes into the bottleneck;(3) All the collaborative nations commit the “80/20” law, and its major is emerged as three groups of the G7, BRICs and Asian newly industrialized countries; (4) The capacity to control and lead the outputs of collaborated excellent academics should be strengthened for China; (5) America is the only nation which can act as a broker, possessing the ability and possibility to control other collaborative nations as China in each Chinese collaborative network. Finally, the paper discusses the deficiencies and possible improvements in the future.

  • Research on the Knowledge Production Efficiency of Scientific Research Institutions in China
  • 2013 Vol. 31 (8): 1198-1206.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Using the Data of regional research institutions in China, we analyze the knowledge production efficiency of scientific research institutions by three-stage DEA method. The main conclusions include that the knowledge production efficiency of regional research institutions is lower, and the lower scale efficiency is the main constraining factor that affect knowledge production efficiency; the regional economic development level and the cooperation between enterprise and scientific research institution have a significantly positive influence on knowledge production efficiency, while the human capital, the government and foreign subsidize have a significant negative impact on the knowledge production efficiency of research institutions. The conclusions of this paper provide revelations to the improvement of knowledge production efficiency of regional research institutions.

  • Knowledge Transfer Between Call Center and Back-office Departments: A Social Capital Theory Perspective
  • 2013 Vol. 31 (8): 1231-1241.
  • Abstract ( )
  • After more than a decade call centers have been well developed in China. However, there are still some problems in its operation. In this paper, we aim to understand the cooperation and knowledge transfer between call centers and back-office departments. In the social capital theory view, we employed multiple-case study method, which involved four enterprises in express, telecommunication, banking, and security sectors, to establish the goal model. The conclusions include: First, the higher structural degree of call center, the higher knowledge transfer opportunity, power and ability of call center employee. Second, the higher relational degree of call center, the higher knowledge transfer opportunity, power and ability of call center employee. Third, the higher cognitive degree of call center, the higher knowledge transfer opportunity, power and ability of call center employee. Furthermore, call center has their priority to different categories of the knowledge to be transferred. And financial enterprises and non-financial enterprises have different ways and frequency of transferring knowledge.
  • Chinese Industry Structure Evolution Driven by Innovation
  • 2013 Vol. 31 (8): 1252-1259.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Innovation is considered to be the key driving force of industry dynamics and evolution. However, there are few quantity studies in this field. The paper studies the driving force and process of Chinese industry evolution from the perspective of innovation. Based on Lorentz and Savona(2008)and Lorentz and Savona(2010) we establish a micro-founded industry dynamics and evolution model with endogenous innovation mechanism and carry out scenario analysis based on Chinese data. We find that the evolution of industry stucture and macro-economic growth in China can be mainly attributed to the improvement of labor productivity and the saving of capital material induced by innovation, and the latter appears to be the key driving force supporting overall industry structure change and economic growth.

  • Organizational modes for Inbound and Outbound Open Innovation Based on Technology Roadmap
  • 2013 Vol. 31 (8): 1268-1274.
  • Abstract ( )
  • In the implementation process of Inbound Open Innovation (IOI) and Outbound Open Innovation (OOI), the key of successful implementation is which organizational modes can effective use internal and external knowledge or technologies for enterprises. Based on the coupling relationship between inbound open innovation and outbound open innovation, tThe methods of “Market Pull Roadmapping for Inbound Open Innovation (MPRIOI)” and “Technology Push Roadmapping for Outbound Open Innovation (TPROOI)” are integrated on the basis of the coupling relationship between inbound open innovation and outbound open innovation in the paper. The enterprises of inbound open innovation can adopt use the organizational modes of non-equity alliance, purchase of technical services and in-licensing in the stages of market analysis, product analysis and technical analysis respectively. Otherwise, The the enterprises of outbound open innovation can adopt use the organizational modes of non-equity alliance, supply of technical services and out-licensing in the stages of technical analysis, product analysis and market analysis respectively. The technology roadmap may can help enterprises to make decisions between internal technology development exploration and external technology developmentexploitation, and find the best balance equilibrium point of the innovation strategy within inbound open innovation, outbound open innovation and closed innovation.
