[Purpose/significance] This paper constructs the CCS index for evaluating scientists' performance based on their cooperation behaviors, which is a comprehensive index reflecting not only the features of co-authors network, but also the ones of the co-authors affiliations and distributions.[Method/process] Based on the positive correlation between scientists' collaboration and performances, a CCS index theoretical model is constructed following six hypotheses. 40 authors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the field of industrial biotechnology who has at least 30 publications during the period of 2007-2011 are used for case study. It makes a comparison of empirical results and co-author network degrees, H index, times cited per paper.[Result/conclusion] This paper finds that while CCS index has high positive correlation to co-author network degrees, it has weak correlation to H index and times cited per paper. Therefore, CCS index can uncover the distribution breadth, depth and density of scientists' cooperators and cooperation agencies, and respond the international cooperation participation of scientists. These indexes could be mutually complementary when used for experts finding and scientist evaluation, and can further enrich the scientist evaluation index.
