Rebuild confidence in China's scientific research - the latest nature index 2022 released that China's research output increased the most

Editor's note ：6.16 Yesterday's “ Natural index annual list ” Inspected 2021 The institutions and countries that contributed the most to high-quality natural science research in . China's list is now strong this year , Research output ranks second in the world ; Compared with 2020 year , China 2021 Year on year growth in research output 14.4%, It is the largest increase among the top ten countries .

Since the establishment of this list , The Chinese Academy of Sciences has been in the leading position in the list of institutions for the tenth consecutive year ,2021 Share in * by 1,963.00, Than the share of Harvard University, which ranks second （910.93） More than double . In the top ten institutions , There are four schools from China , And in these ten institutions , Only the adjusted share of Chinese institutions ** Than 2020-21 The year has increased .

Another Chinese institution —— University of Chinese Academy of Sciences （ Overall ranking No 8 position ） The growth rate is 21.4%, Become the fastest-growing organization on the list . stay 50 Of the fastest-growing institutions in the world , front 31 Home from China .

As China and its institutions soar , Other countries and institutions have to fall behind in the competition , So as to be in the 82 Articles published in journals .

The founder of the natural index David Swinbanks In his comments, he said ：“ The annual list of natural indexes shows , China invests in research through its large and mature institutions , It is bringing sustained research output to natural science .2021 year , China's investment in research accounts for GDP Of 2.4%, Show that they attach importance to this field . This year, , With us in other countries , Especially in Germany 、 The British 、 Compared with the changes seen in France and Japan , Their funding has had the most significant impact on their research growth .”

About the conclusions we can draw from this list ,Swinbanks Add ：“ Although the annual list is a good indicator of high research output in the field of Natural Science , But we encourage readers to consider the quality of research and institutional performance , Compare these results with other scientific outputs （ Such as data 、 Software and intellectual property ） Use together .”

The research results have also been divided into different disciplines , Here is a list of leading institutions by research field ：

notes ：

* A symbolic indicator of the natural index “ share ” Is assigned to an organization 、 City or country / The proportion of articles in the region , It takes into account the proportion of authors associated with the institution or region in the article .

** The adjusted share takes into account 《 natural 》 A small annual change in the total number of articles in the index . For further explanation, see natureindex.com/glossary. The natural index is a measure of the performance of institutional research lists . Natural index counts and share indicators are based on an institution or country / Area in 82 It is determined by the number of publications in natural science journals , These journals were selected by a special group composed of authoritative scientists in various fields according to their reputation . Natural index recognition , In examining the quality of research and the list of institutions , Many other factors must be taken into account ; Indicators of the natural index should not be used solely to evaluate institutions or individuals .
