    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] To explore the relationship between scientific research cooperation of outstanding scientists and their academic influence, this paper provides the basis for optimizing scientific research cooperation in the process of cultivating innovative talents. [Method/process] Unbalanced panel data analysis was used to study the relationship between cooperation indicators such as scale of cooperation, breadth of cooperation and cooperation roles of 242 British and American Nobel Prize winners in natural science from 1900 to 2018 and their academic influence. [Result/conclusion] Although the contribution of cooperative characteristics of papers published by non first authors to cooperative characteristics of the overall cooperative papers is greater than papers published by first authors, and the contribution of papers published by first authors to the academic influence of Nobel laureates is greater than papers published by non first authors. The cooperation scale of papers published by the first author is an effective cooperation scale for Nobel laureates, which is positively correlated with the academic influence of winners. More cooperation with different scholars is conducive to the improvement of Nobel laureates' academic influence. It is suggested that when studying the impact of the cooperative characteristics of scholars' papers on their academic performance, or even other related research with cooperative characteristics, the cooperative papers published by scholars as the first author and those papers published by non first authors should be studied separately, and it is possible to draw more meaningful conclusions.
