US ¡®must wake up¡¯ to diminishing research power, or ¡®lose to Asia¡¯

US research output risks falling behind new science-based economies in Asia if it does not continue to invest and collaborate, warns a new study.

Authors said that 바카라사이트 US ¡°no longer stands alone¡± as a leading science and technology power, and hope 바카라사이트 report will serve as a wake-up call.

Clarivate¡¯s Institute for Scientific Information?analysed data from 바카라사이트 Web of Science to examine 바카라사이트 impact of globalisation on US research, and its trajectory over 바카라사이트 past 15 years.

emphasises 바카라사이트 importance of continued investment and collaboration to maintain 바카라사이트 country¡¯s position in 바카라사이트 global research ecosystem.

US research investment, domestic research student numbers, and 바카라사이트 output of research articles and reviews have not grown at 바카라사이트 same rate as new science-based economies in Asia, nor 바카라사이트 expanded European Union network, authors said.

The country, which has been a ¡°dominant force¡± in global science since 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 Second World War, now faces increased competition from rapidly developing nations such as Brazil, India, South Korea and China.

Jonathan Adams, chief scientist at 바카라사이트 Institute for Scientific Information, said 바카라사이트 US remains a leading science and technology power, but it ¡°no longer stands alone¡±.

There is awareness of 바카라사이트 problem within 바카라사이트 country, but 바카라사이트 consequences have not been fully appreciated, he told 온라인 바카라.

¡°The US needs to wake up to 바카라사이트 detail of what is happening,¡± he added.

The authors?urged 바카라사이트 country to acknowledge its shrinking domestic research capacity and work pragmatically with resourceful competitors to maintain its position.

Professor Adams said all countries see a shift from purely domestic research to international, but 바카라사이트 US has lost greatest capacity in areas it sees as strategically important to innovation and to security.

¡°This is partly due to serious underfunding and mismanagement during 바카라사이트 Trump administration, but longer term 바카라사이트 relative underfunding of technology compared to 바카라사이트 politically attractive funding directed to medically related areas has been a fatal flaw in 바카라사이트 oversight of 바카라사이트 US research system,¡± he added.

According to 바카라사이트 authors, most growth in US research publication output is attributable to international collaboration, which has doubled for major traditional partners such as 바카라사이트 UK and Germany and quadrupled with mainland China.

The report also confirms that 바카라사이트 decline in domestic research capacity in engineering continues, warning that 바카라사이트 research shift ¡°appears to have happened without clear awareness in policy debates¡±.

The study also found that US research activity is unevenly spread across 바카라사이트 country, and asked important questions about how past investment has prepared 바카라사이트 US scientific enterprise to achieve its goals.

The physical sciences and technology were found to be 바카라사이트 subjects where 바카라사이트 US has 바카라사이트 greatest degree of international collaboration and 바카라사이트 smallest component of purely domestic research output.

Mainland China is its most frequent partner in technology research, as frequently as 바카라사이트 UK and Germany in physical sciences, while collaborations with mainland China accounts for about 25 per cent of current US engineering output.

In 1981, mainland China claimed just a fraction of world engineering papers, but by 2019 that figure was close to 40 per cent.

¡°The US does and will continue to benefit from working with an acknowledged and resourceful competitor,¡± said 바카라사이트 authors.

¡°It must do so with pragmatism and realism, not with ei바카라사이트r paranoia or wishful thinking.¡±
