Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evolutionary pattern of international research collaborations. Using
publication data from 1997 to 2012, this study decomposes international collaborations into two complementary
types, intra-collaboration (within the same geographical area) and inter-collaboration (across different
geographical areas). Our results show that the geographical concentration of international research collaborations
is reducing. The formation of new network structure of international research collaborations is driven by the
increase of inter-research collaborations of countries across different geographical areas rather than intracollaborations of countries within the same geographical area.
