流感病毒疫苗在预防流感和保护人们健康方面发挥着重要作用。流感病毒疫苗领域的国际合作关系到卫生保健的可持续性。为了解流感病毒疫苗领域多形式国际合作的具体特征，本文构建了国际科学合作的多层次（国家、城市和机构层面）分析框架，考察合作的区域分布、动态变化和共同主题。从web of Science数据库中收集2006 - 2013年流感病毒疫苗领域发表的国际合作论文1878篇。基于此数据集，本文运用文献计量学和社会网络分析方法，探讨流感病毒疫苗领域的国际出版趋势和合作绩效。结果表明：(1)三种协作网络（国家、城市和机构层面）均呈现出动态结构，具有较强的核心-外围特征，其度中心性分布服从分段zipp - pareto分布；(2)虽然国家、城市和机构在地理位置上存在对应关系，但其关联的类别、网络位置和变化趋势大多是非共形的。这些发现表明，多层次分析有助于更全面地了解流感病毒疫苗领域的国际科学合作。总的来说，详细的结论可以帮助不同级别的政府制定政策，以促进进一步的国际合作研究，以提高预防疾病的能力。
Influenza virus vaccine plays an important role in preventing influenza and protecting people's health. The international collaboration in influenza virus vaccine field is related to the sustainability of healthcare. To understand the elaborate characteristics of multiform international collaboration in the influenza virus vaccine field, this paper constructs a multilayered analytical framework (at the country, city and institution levels) of international scientific collaboration to examine the regional distribution, dynamic changes and common themes of collaboration. A total of 1878 international collaboration papers of the influenza virus vaccine field published from 2006 to 2013 were collected from theWeb of Science database. Based on this dataset, the paper utilizes bibliometrics and social network analysis approaches to explore international publication trends and collaboration performance in the influenza virus vaccine field. Results show that: (1) the three kinds of collaboration networks (country, city and institution levels) all present dynamic structures, strong core-periphery characteristics, and their degree centrality distributions follows segmented Zifp-Pareto distribution; and (2) although it is known that there exist corresponding relationships among countries, cities and institutions in the geographical position, most of their associated categories, network locations and changing trends are all non-conformal. These findings suggest that multilayered analysis enables a more comprehensive understanding of international scientific collaboration in the influenza virus vaccine field. In general, detailed conclusions can help different levels of governments to draw policy implications for promoting further international collaboration research to enhance the ability on preventing the disease.
