Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Understanding the pattern of scientific collaboration between Mainland China and the USA-the world's leading producers of scientific publications, could be beneficial to decision-makers in research and health policy in creating and adjusting anti-epidemic strategies.[Method/process] Taking publications related to SARS and COVID-19 as research objects, this study explored the collaboration patterns of the Mainland China and the USA from the perspectives of research effort, collaboration strength, collaboration network and major fields on the basis of classification of collaboration types and improvement of Salton's index.[Result/conclusion] Both the Mainland China and the USA are the main contributors to the research on SARS and COVID-19, while the attention of the Chinese scholars to relevant research tends to change with the situation of the epidemics. Although Mainland China and the USA were the closest partners for each other in SARS and COVID-19 research, the collaboration strength between the two countries is obviously lower in COVID-19 research than that of SARS research. The USA is at the heart of both SARS and COVID-19 collaborative networks, while Mainland China's position is significantly lower. As for the research fields, Mainland China and the USA have different emphasis on the discipline distributions.

Key words： SARS; COVID-19; scientific collaboration; social network analysis; public health
