English abstract

Scientific diplomacy involves the use of scientific and technical collaborations to foster international relations and to address global challenges. It promotes collaboration between nations through joint research and innovation projects, knowledge-sharing, and the application of scientific advancements to tackle shared issues and challenges in national and international contexts like climate change, public health crises, and technological innovation. France is a key player in international scientific organizations and agreements, emphasizing the importance of scientific and technological collaboration in addressing global issues. The primary source of data utilized in this scientometric study was the Web of Science citation database. The extracted data were recorded and analyzed using Excel software. This study shows the state of French scientific collaborations separately from each of the five continents. On the continent of America, France collaborated with 32 countries, with most scientific collaborations taking place with the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina. In Europe continent, France engaged in scientific collaborations with 49 countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, etc. Similarly, in Asia continent, France fostered scientific relationships with 36 countries, consisting of China, Japan, India, and South Korea emerging as its most prominent partners. On the African continent, France also established scientific collaborations with 49 countries, especially with Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and South Africa. Finally, in the Oceania continent, France maintained scientific ties with 8 countries, especially with Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Fiji, and Vanuatu. The current research shows that France has a rich tradition of engaging in science diplomacy and international collaboration, emphasizing on multilateralism and cultural influence.
