Well the Image, tells the "story" !
Published by Nature, this week, [Title: 365 days: 2011 in review; Link: http://www.nature.com/news/365-days-2011-in-review-1.9684] , this says the following Equations: Just a rough overview:
Publication Number-wise:
USA x 2 = China
China = India x 6
Japan = India x 1.5
UK = Germany= India x 2
India = South Korea = Australia
India= Singapore x 4 [Best scientific Hub in East ?]
India= Malaysia x 6 [Am presently here !!!]
Thus, compared to 2010, India has achieved a 10 % growth in scientific publications, which is the same as of Spain, Korea etc. While the growth is just 5 % in USA and UK [a decline ?]. Unsurprisingly, China registers a 15 % growth ! and Iran, with all issues around, still 20 % growth !!
Food for thought ? But certainly, doe snot reflect on the quality [my freinds would be glad to add on the Cumulative Impact Factor and then measure if India stands, even there or the decline in UK/USA are significant at all, and if Chinese declaration in R and D are really elephantine !].
Science-O-Nomist goes to grab a snack !
Catch ya all soon !
