New dynamic, interactive data visualizations illuminate
shifts in global research landscape and enable rapid comparative
analyses
LONDON, Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate
Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a global leader in connecting people and
organizations to intelligence they can trust to transform their
world, today released its annual G20 scorecard, which for the first
time examines the research performance of each G20 member through
dynamic, interactive data visualizations. It offers a detailed and
insightful overview of research trends, collaboration patterns and
scientific impact, showcasing the contributions of the 19 G20
member nations* to the global research landscape.
The annual G20 scorecard – Research performance 2023,
compiled by expert analysts and data scientists at the Institute
for Scientific Information (ISI)™, publishes ahead of the G20
summit in New Delhi, India on
September 9-10 and is freely
available to explore on Clarivate.com.
The new dynamic format allows for easy comparisons, empowering
professionals across academia, government and industry to utilize
its rich array of data to facilitate research, innovation,
policymaking, education and international collaboration across
various sectors.
The G20 scorecard presents an exceptional vantage point on the
strengths and challenges of each G20 nation's research ecosystem.
By assessing key indicators such as research output, citations,
collaboration networks and innovation potential, the scorecard
offers invaluable insights into the changing patterns of worldwide
scientific advancement.
Key findings in the 2023 G20 scorecard include:
- Mainland China accrued
three times as many patents as any other individual G20 member in
2021. This achievement showcases Mainland China's rapid progress in
innovation and technological advancements, positioning it as a
global leader in patent creation.
- In the United States,
both Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) and Collaborative
CNCI have fallen through the last decade. This trend is clear in
most subject areas, although medicine is an exception. This
significant decline in one of the world's leading research nations
raises questions about the factors influencing research impact and
collaboration dynamics.
- Argentina's
contribution to medical research yields an influence that surpasses
the global average by over 1.5 times, driven by heightened levels
of international collaboration. This highlights Argentina's specialization in medical research
and underscores the pivotal role of global collaboration in
attaining significant and impactful research outcomes.
- Brazil's output in
humanities is three times more likely than the G20 average to be
published in an open access (OA) journal. Brazil's emphasis on OA publication in the
humanities sets it apart and may have implications for access to
knowledge and the dissemination of research findings.
- Saudi Arabia has the
highest average CNCI of any G20 nation at 1.41. However,
Collaborative CNCI is lower at 1.05. Saudi Arabia's impressive CNCI score coupled
with its unique collaborative dynamics showcases its strong
individual research contributions.
- In India, despite
recently overtaking Mainland China as the most populous country,
GDP is only a third of Mainland China and, during the last decade,
research output is five times smaller. India's research output and GDP disparity
compared to Mainland China raises questions about resource
allocation, research investment and potential future trends.
- Canada boasts an
above-average proportion of output in social sciences, medicine,
humanities and arts, although OA output is below average in all
categories. Canada's diverse
research output and below-average OA rates prompt discussions on
access to research findings and collaboration patterns.
- In the United Kingdom,
in 2022 more than half of output was published in OA journals.
Collaborative CNCI remains above the world average but has fallen
during the last decade. The U.K.'s increasing OA output and
evolving collaboration trends signal shifts in research
dissemination and partnership strategies.
- In Russia, CNCI is low,
at 0.70 over the last decade, with fewer than a fifth of papers
receiving more citations than the world average. Collaborative CNCI
is even lower, at 0.55. Russia's
comparatively low CNCI and Collaborative CNCI scores suggest
challenges in research impact and international collaboration.
- In Japan, the
percentage of female researchers remains below a fifth. Research
productivity also remains amongst the lowest in the G20.
Japan's gender imbalance in
research and low research productivity point to potential
structural issues within its research ecosystem.
Gordon Rogers, Lead Data
Scientist at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate,
said, "The G20 scorecard provides a data-rich platform for gaining
insights into the state of global research, fostering
collaboration, and guiding strategic decisions in academia,
industry and government. In its new, dynamic online format, it will
serve as a vital resource for policymakers and government
officials, researchers and institutions, international
organizations and NGOs, and industry and innovation leaders around
the world. The dynamic data and deep analyses from ISI offer a
comprehensive view of the global research landscape and allows
stakeholders to make informed decisions and collaborate effectively
to help transform our world for the betterment of society."
