[GOAL] Scholarly research - global shift in funding

[Heather Morrison]

Some observations from the 2018 STM report on a global shift in countries' funding of research that might interest list members:

Chin

"China  has  overtaken  the  US  to  become  the  pre-eminent  producer  of  global  research papers  globally,  with  a  share  of  about  19%,  and  on  current  trends  its  research spending  will  also  exceed  the  US’s  by  the  early  2020s.  The  US  accounts  for  18%  of global  articles,  while  India  has  also  seen  rapid  growth  in  recent  years,  and  now produces  5%  of  global  outputs,  ahead  of  Germany,  the  UK  and  Japan,  each  on  4% (page 29)".
