    In recent years, China attaches great importance to the critical role of national strategic science and technology force in accelerating the catch-up of basic science. However, problems such as the unclear orientation of basic research and Impetuous study style among different research subjects are becoming increasingly prominent. While combining the national conditions with the right medicine, it is necessary to refer to the development experience of European and American scientific and technological powers to avoid detours. To this end, this paper constructs an analysis framework for national strategic science and technology force governance. It conducts case studies on the governance practices of basic research in the United States, Germany, and Japan from the perspective of internal and external governance. The findings are as follows:(1)the government implements clear and differentiated management of national research institutes and research universities in terms of funding allocation and research intervention;(2)gives full play to the leading role of strategic science and technology force through various forms of basic research support;(3)in order to face the forefront of science and technology in the world, give full play to the role of evaluation through some evaluation mechanisms, such as open and transparent ones, and differentiated application of results, and establish a regular consultation and review system of international advisory panels composed of top scientists at home and abroad. Finally, based on the above conclusions, the policy suggestions of strengthening basic research of national strategic science and technology forces are put forward.

    Carrying out “no-man's-land innovation” is an important support for China to enter the forefront of innovative countries. In contrast, the traditional scientific research project formation and management mechanism cannot effectively support relevant domestic entities to explore the scientific research no man's land, and it is urgent to transform from “project-centered” to “human-centered”. According to the concreteness of research objectives of scientific research projects, this paper further divides “no-man's-land innovation” into three categories: basic research of free exploration, research on disruptive technologies, and research on core technologies. By analyzing the foreign and domestic new formation and management mechanism of scientific research projects oriented to “no man's land innovation”, the common characteristics are summarized. Finally, three suggestions are put forward for the reform of China's scientific research project system and mechanism, that is, to design project selection and support mechanisms according to the characteristics of different types of scientific research activities, to establish a more flexible project supervision and evaluation mechanism, and to pay attention to the cultivation of researchers and project managers.

    This paper makes a keyword co-occurrence analysis on the scientific and technological papers published in four bay areas from the knowledge mapping perspective. The research finding shows that the four bay areas focus on studies of the pathological mechanisms and treatment of new corona pneumonia and the cardio cerebrovascular epidemics. Through the analysis of each bay area, it is found that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area devotes to the field of information technology and material science, the Tokyo Bay Area focuses on the field of clinical medical treatment, the New York Bay Area focuses on the research field of pathological mechanism and prevention and treatment of non-communicable epidemics in the United States, and San Francisco Bay area devotes itself to the field of natural science. Based on the analysis results, this study shows that the possible future research directions of the four bay areas are information technology, epidemic prevention and treatment, and climatology. This study also suggests that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area should grasp the mainstream research direction, make up for its weaknesses, and seek to realise the transformation of scientific research output from “quantity” to “quality”.
