Are research papers published by universities in china available to us

or vice versa?

does the language barrier impede the exchange of knowledge?

Sure, they publish articles in English. Articles written in Chinese are also available: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=chinese[la]

This is rather vague IF I just go by your question in the title. And since you did not bother to further explain what you mean, there is no way to figure out what exactly is meant by "published by universities in china".

1. Universities seldom publish papers. It is a journal that publishes paper.

2. Any institution can submit to any relevant journals, no matter where that institution and that journal is. If you look in PRL, Nature, Science, etc., you see papers from all over the world being published.

3. Most groups that have important results will tend to publish in well-established journals. After all, why publish an important result in a rather localized journal that only a few will read? If that result is important enough, and of interest to many, one will seek to have it published in a more widely-read publication.

Find the university closest to you, and go to the library located in the department for whatever field you are interested in (eg. physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, etc.). Not the main campus library, I mean the one actually in the building for that department [physics, chemistry, etc.]

The main research journals in that department's areas of research are likely there, including ones from China, Europe, and Russia/USSR.

I can say that research papers published by universities in China are available to us in the sense that they can be accessed and read by anyone with the proper resources and credentials. Similarly, research papers published by universities in other countries are also available to Chinese researchers and scholars. However, there may be some barriers, such as language differences, that could impede the exchange of knowledge between different countries.

While many research papers are published in English, there are also a significant number of papers published in Chinese and other languages. This could make it challenging for researchers who are not fluent in those languages to access and understand the research findings. Additionally, the cultural and societal differences between countries may also impact the interpretation and application of research findings.

That being said, there are efforts being made to bridge this language and cultural gap in the scientific community. Many universities and research institutions offer translation services for research papers, and there are also international collaborations and conferences where researchers can share their findings and discuss them in person.

Overall, while there may be some challenges in accessing and understanding research papers from different countries, the scientific community is continuously working towards promoting knowledge exchange and collaboration across borders. As scientists, it is crucial for us to be open-minded and willing to learn from each other, regardless of any potential barriers.
