COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE NEW PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE BETWEEN JAPAN AND FRANCE

研究的重点是一种新的知识生产模式，其中包括扩大产学研合作作为一个重要方面。这项研究利用文献计量学技术来提供显示这种趋势的积极数据。特别是，研究针对日本和法国的比较分析，我们试图分析跨部门（学术界，工业界，公共实验室）和国际研究网络的研究网络的出现。为了积极地分析这些问题，我们基于ISI提供的“日本国家引文报告”开发了一个跨部门、国际合作研究论文的数据集。主要发现如下：1)美国是日本科研合作的最大伙伴。然而，与美国合作的论文份额逐年下降，而其他国家却在增长。与此同时，合作正从双边合作转向多边合作。2)美、欧、亚-大洋洲国家间的研究网络日益扩大。3)在日法科研合作中，院系合作关系占比最大。然而，跨部门的合作正在增长，因此合作更加多样化。(4)日法科研合作呈增长趋势，日法两国国内跨部门合作也在增加。(5)日法合作呈现第三国参与的趋势。

The research is focused on a new mode of knowledge production, which includes an expansion of academy-industry collaboration as an important aspect. The research makes use of bibliometric techniques to provide positive data showing such trends. Especially, the research is directed to a comparative analysis between Japan and France, where we try to analyze emergence of research network across sectors (academy, industry, public laboratories) and international research network. To analyze these positively, we develop a dataset of intersectoral, international coauthorship of research papers based on 'National Citation Report for Japan' which ISI provides.Major findings are as follows:1) USA is the biggest partner of research coljaboration of Japan. However, its share ofcoauthored papers with USA is decreasing year by year, while other countries are growing. Parallel with it, collaboration is moving from bilateral one to multilateral one.2) Research network among America, Europe and Asia-Oceania countries is growing.3) Among Japan-France research collaboration, academy-academy relationship account for the most part. However, collaboration across sectors is growing, so that collaboration is more diversified.4) Japan-France research collaboration is growing, accompanied with increase of domestic collaboration across sectors in both Japan and France.5) Japan-France collaboration shows a tendency to involve third countries.
