Science scorecards reveal state of research in G20 nations
Performance measured using data on funding, gender balance and open access
The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) has produced scorecards assessing the state of science in each of the G20 countries in a new report that aims to provide an overall snapshot of research performance and help policymakers track progress.
Analysts considered issues such as gender balance in the research workforce, international engagement and open access to research as well as data on research investment and publications. They looked at the G20 as a whole, as well as producing scorecards for each country. ‘We highlight the progress of their development – there is no ranking, because that would not be meaningful,’ says the ISI’s director Jonathan Adams.
