Why It Matters | China outranks the US in contributing to scientific research
China has surpassed the U.S. as the biggest contributor to nature and science journals, The Guardianreports. A report by the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy of Japan also said that in 2018-2020, China published at least 407,181 papers in a year as compared to 293,434 from the U.S. China’s President, Xi Jinping, has promised to push more funding into research as academia increasingly becomes “a frontier for technological competition.” Mr. Jinping’s aim is to make China a world leader in scientific research. China overtaking the US in its contribution to scientific journals shows the changing dynamics between the two countries and China’s growing dominance in the world order. The famous science integrity consultant and scientific-fraud sleuth Elisabeth Bik has reportedly discovered “hundreds of cases of unsubstantiated research coming from China.” Why does it matter?
