India among top 13 countries in scientific papers




KnowledgeLink Newsletter of June 2007 noted that the May/June issue of Science Watch ranks 13 countries based on published scientific papers that reach the top one percent of most cited papers worldwide from 1996 to 2006.

The US has produced more than 2.9 million scientific papers over this period, and took the lead in both the total papers among the top one percent and the percentage of total papers among the top one percent.

Science Watch, a subscription newsletter, uses citation data from Thomson Scientific to provide rankings, interviews and reports on what it calls "today's most significant science".

In its study, 13 countries are ranked based on both the volume and percentage of published scientific papers - in journals listed in Thomson Scientific's Web of Science - that reached the top one percent of most-cited papers worldwide.

"This survey takes a different approach when ranking elite papers both overall and in specialty fields," Chris King, editor of Science Watch, was quoted as saying.
