Based on the data of papers published by China-Israel from 1981 to 2019，which were included in the Web of Science database，this paper investigates the overall situation of China-Israel scientific research cooperation and the current status of various provinces，cities and autonomous regions in China developing cooperation with Israel. This empirical study is conducted from six perspectives：cooperation scale，cooperation quality，cooperation discipline，cooperation institution，cooperation intensity and cooperation effect. Since China and Israel jointly published the first scientific research cooperation paper，the scale and quality of cooperation between scientists of the two countries has shown a rapidly rising trend. In particular，the establishment of an innovative cooperation mechanism between China and Israel has further enhanced the scale of bilateral cooperation. The personnel exchanges have turned more frequent，the scientific research cooperation has become more pragmatic，and scientific and technological innovation cooperation has turned into an important engine for the development of China-Israel relations.
