Abstract

[Purpose/ significance]In scientific collaboration, institutions are the primary driving units of scientific research. Compared to intra-institutional collaboration, inter-institutional collaboration often has the potential to produce high-impact papers. Therefore, studying fine-grained collaboration at the institutional level holds significant importance.[Method/process]To explore the relationship between different types of institutional cooperation and academic influence, this paper classifies institutions and defines various types of cooperation. Using network analysis methods, it investigates the relationship between network indicators of different types of institutional cooperation and academic influence. [Result/conclusion]Taking the computer science domain as an example, the analysis of the relationship between network indicators of different types of institutional cooperation and academic influence reveals that degree centrality and closeness centrality are positively correlated with academic influence, while betweenness centrality is negatively correlated with academic influence. Additionally, there are significant differences in the correlation between different centrality indicators and academic influence across various subfields, differing markedly from the overall regression results of the computer science field.
