4. Network <strong>Analysis</strong><br />
In the last chapter of this study, network analyses based on the data gathered previously are<br />
used to discuss one of the central questions of this study: how has scientific cooperation<br />
developed between the countries studied in South-East <strong>Asia</strong>? Have cooperations intensified<br />
above the average?<br />

Table 7: Total output of the countries and number of collaborative papers with at least one of the other<br />
countries in South-East <strong>Asia</strong> for the period 1998 – 2007<br />
Table 7 shows how many publications were published by each country between 1998 and 2007<br />
and how many of these articles are collaborative papers with at least one of the other countries<br />
studied. It we add up the output of each of the countries, we get a value that is larger than the<br />
total output of the South-East <strong>Asia</strong>n countries (153,834 and 292,516 publications, respectively)<br />
because co-publications by the countries analysed are counted more than once.<br />
The percentage of the total output of the South-East <strong>Asia</strong>n countries shown in Table 8 reflect<br />
how often a country in the region studied publishes in collaboration with at least one other<br />
country in this region. This value reflects the cooperations within the network of South-East<br />
<strong>Asia</strong>n countries. It is revealed that countries with a low publication output generate a large<br />
proportion of their scientific output in cooperation with other countries in the region studied. The<br />
opposite is also true, namely that countries with very large publication numbers are involved to a<br />
much smaller extent in joint publications.<br />
