本文分析了知识网络的空间结构及其与城市群等空间集聚的重叠。它提出了一种知识网络空间集中的类型，并使用来自光学技术和复杂网络分析领域的学术合著者的数据来显示中国的地区和研究机构是如何在国内和国际知识交流中定位的。这种大规模知识网络的空间表示和分析提供了网络结构质量的增强视图。获取不同知识库的途径分布不均，这使得一些地区能够结合知识并创造学习机会，而这些学习机会不是来自科学活动的空间集中，而是来自它们在网络中的位置。
This paper analyses the spatial configurations of knowledge networks and their overlap with spatial concentrations, such as urban agglomerations. It proposes a typology of spatial concentrations in knowledge networks, and uses data from academic coauthorships in the field of optical technology and complex network analysis to show how China's regions and research organisations are located in national and international knowledge exchanges. This spatial representation and analysis of a large-scale knowledge network provide an enhanced view of the quality of network structures. Access to different pools of knowledge is unevenly distributed, allowing some regions to combine knowledge and create learning opportunities that do not stem from a spatial concentration of activity in science, but rather from their positions in the network.
