TL;DR
This paper investigates the citation patterns between Chinese and American institutions at NeurIPS, revealing a significant divide in cross-region citations compared to European connectivity, and discusses its causes and implications.
Contribution
It provides a quantitative analysis of regional citation separation at NeurIPS, highlighting the extent and impact of the divide between Chinese and American research communities.
Findings
Chinese and American institutions cite each other less than within-region citations.
The citation divide is more pronounced than in European networks.
The paper discusses potential causes and consequences of this separation.
Abstract
At NeurIPS, American and Chinese institutions cite papers from each other's regions substantially less than they cite endogamously. We build a citation graph to quantify this divide, compare it to European connectivity, and discuss the causes and consequences of the separation.
