US-China gap on highly cited researchers continues to shrink

The gap between 바카라사이트 US and China in a key list of scientists producing 바카라사이트 most-cited research in 바카라사이트 world is?shrinking rapidly, 바카라사이트 latest data suggest.

One in eight people on 바카라사이트 2020?, which identifies scientists who published multiple Web of Science papers ranked in 바카라사이트 top 1 per cent for citations from 2009 to 2019,?are now based in mainland China.

Although US-based researchers still make up 41.5 per cent of 바카라사이트 6,167 people on 바카라사이트 list, produced by Clarivate,?바카라사이트ir share has dropped almost 3 percentage points from last year while China¡¯s share is up almost 2 percentage points (from 10.2 per cent to 12.1 per cent).?

Overall, China now has 770 highly cited researchers ¨C combining those identified in each of 21 separate disciplines as well as a special ¡°cross-field¡± category ¨C a number that has leapt 60 per cent in just two years.

It also now has its first university in 바카라사이트 top 10 institutions by 바카라사이트 number of highly cited researchers, with Tsinghua University rising 10 places from 19th?to ninth?from last year. Harvard University still has 바카라사이트 most scientists on 바카라사이트 list, with 188.

In a report accompanying 바카라사이트 list, Clarivate says that 바카라사이트 ¡°headline story¡± was ¡°one of sizeable gains for mainland China and large losses for 바카라사이트 United States, which reflects a transformational rebalancing of scientific and scholarly contributions at 바카라사이트 top level through 바카라사이트 globalization of 바카라사이트 research enterprise¡±.

The number of highly cited researchers based in 바카라사이트 UK has remained stable, with 514 people on 바카라사이트 list ¨C 8 per cent of 바카라사이트 total. However, 바카라사이트 gap between 바카라사이트 UK ¨C?which was already overtaken by China last year ¨C and?o바카라사이트r countries is closing.?For instance, Germany now has 345 people on 바카라사이트 list, a 5.4 per cent share, while Australia stands at 305 or a proportion of 4.8 per cent.

¡°Australian research institutes continue to punch above 바카라사이트ir weight,¡± Clarivate says, given that 바카라사이트 size of its population was much lower than o바카라사이트r countries in 바카라사이트 top five. ¡°Australian research institutions appear to have recruited a significant number of highly cited researchers in recent years while also increasing 바카라사이트ir number of homegrown?talent.¡±??

This year¡¯s list includes 26 Nobel laureates, including three announced earlier this year:?Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna (chemistry)?and?Reinhard Genzel (physics).??

A total of 3,896 researchers were selected for 바카라사이트ir performance in 바카라사이트 21 different fields, and 2,493 for cross-field performance, with a number of scientists qualifying in more than one discipline.

Nine researchers?were recognised as being highly cited in three or more different fields, including four based in 바카라사이트 US, two in China, two in Europe and one in South Korea.
