Abstract
We analyse the collaboration between forestry research institutions and forestry departments in China based on a bibliometric
study of four leading Chinese forestry journals. Multiple-authored papers are frequent, and there is a significant
collaboration between research and implementing agencies. This collaboration centres on applied research, being less
common on fundamental research and almost non-existent on policy research. Universities, National research institutes and
National and Provincial level forest departments act as the key organisers of research, with specialised domains and types
of collaboration. This helps explain the success of Chinese forestry experiences in recent years.
