Science is growing globally

New global leaders are emerging

Countries ranked by output growth 1997-2007 (percentage)

“Today the dominant position of the United

States in the international research and education community is being challenged as never before.”

-American Academy of Arts and Sciences

Sharing in science

Page 6: Collaboration, Competition and the Global Drivers of Research Moscow, 18 May 2010 Dr Wim J.N. Meester Senior Product Manager.

Scientists seek recognition for their work

There is one character trait . . . which is an intrinsic part of a scientist’s culture, and which the public image doesn’t often include: his extreme egocentricity, expressed chiefly in his overmastering desire for recognition by his peers. No other recognition matters. And that recognition comes in only one way. It doesn’t really matter who you are or whom you know. You may not even know those other scientists personally, but they know you—through your publications.

International collaboration increases citation impact

Page 11: Collaboration, Competition and the Global Drivers of Research Moscow, 18 May 2010 Dr Wim J.N. Meester Senior Product Manager.

International collaboration leads to more citations

Russia achieves more than three-fold publication impact increase by collaborating with ‘country x’ (in 2008)
