- Abstract
Research on mutual cooperation among scholars or research institutions has become more and more common. The purpose of this paper is to explore the current status of cooperation between scholars and research institutions in the field of Chinese education. In this paper, we use the method of the complex network to analyze the cooperative behavior of academic papers published by Chinese educational scholars by collecting academic papers on education leadership, education policy, quality education, and vocational education. Our conclusions show that most of the academic papers published by Chinese educational scholars are non-cooperative. In the authors of the co-authored papers, there is a significant "Matthew effect", that is, some key scholars in these fields that link the collaborators. Lastly, there is no obvious aggregation effect between the authors of the co-authored papers which indicating a widespread and extensive connection between the collaborators. The above conclusions provide valuable insights into our understanding of the cooperative behavior of Chinese education scholars.
