Abstract
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) universities are important bases for science and technology research and play a critical role in China’s National Innovation System. Based on the Web of Science (WoS), this article analyzes the statistics of paper published by MIIT universities and universities from across China including MIIT universities. The results are as follows: (1) Both the MIIT universities and universities nationwide in China have increased their international academic publications, and MIIT have shown a greater increase for the past decade. (2) In terms of U-I-G interaction, for UG relations, the Tug value of MIIT universities has remained stable, while that of universities in China has become declined. For UI relations, the Tui value of both MIIT universities and universities in China has shown steady growth. For UIG relations, MIIT universities have a greater synergistic effect of Triple Helix relationship than universities in China. (3) For more details in seven MIIT universities, universities elected into “Project 985”, including HIT, BUAA, BIT and NPU, have published more papers, and been more synergistic with government and industry (UIG relations) than other three universities, including NUAA, NUST and HEU. Based on the empirical results, we discuss our findings, and make certain suggestions regarding policy incentives, reasonable administrative system and U-I-G interaction mode, which is significant not only for Chinese universities but also for universities in other developing countries.
Highlights
In the era of knowledge-based economy, innovation has been the driving force of the national development
As this study focuses on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) universities and universities nationwide in China, data about bibliometric information of scientific papers written by authors from these addresses were collected from 2008 to 2017
This paper firstly shows the basic situation of science and technology papers published by universities and their collaborators, including industries, governments and other universities
Summary
In the era of knowledge-based economy, innovation has been the driving force of the national development. To thrive knowledge economy through innovation in one country, a reasonable institutional framework is needed, and institutional actors of a nation are expected to develop new patterns of interaction [1]. Some normative frameworks of interactions among university, industry and government have been constructed and used by researchers to study and understand interactions among key actors in innovation systems. National innovation system in China and MIIT universities. In China, the basic unit for developing innovation systems is the province-level regions [21, 22] until the end of the last century. Since 1998, China began to adjust university administration system in order to reduce conflicts between central and local governments. The result is the establishment of two-level management of central and local governments. Some institutions are affiliated with other functional departments of the central government, including the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and so on
