Abstract:
Objective To reveal the cooperation between American military medical research institutes by analyzing the scientific research cooperation networks in order to provide reference for domestic military medical research and its cooperation. Methods A co-occurrence matrix of high frequency research institutes was established by identif-ying the data using literature data analyzing tool TDA and analyzed by visualized tool Ucinet. Results The densely distributed academic cooperation networks in American military medical research institutes were characterized by small world properties and rapid internal knowledge flow with neither absolute knowledge barrier nor knowledge mo-nopolies. The number of co-authorship papers published by military medical research institutes was rather large and tended to increase year by year. The small size research institutes preferred to cooperate between each other. American military medical research institutes did not arbitrarily cooperate with high level research institutes and u-sually cooperated with the same kind of research institutes, including military medical universities, first class uni-versities, and top enterprises. Geo-factor was the most important factor for cooperation in research. Conclusion Frontier basic research, applied basic research, applied military and civilian research should encourage the exten-sive cooperation between military research institutes and excellent civilian research institutes by making full use of the geo-advantages of military medical research institutes. Administrative order and policies should be taken to pro-mote cooperation in military applied research field.
