Clarivate Report on U.S. Research Emphasizes Need for Continued International Collaboration and Domestic Regional Investment
"
Key findings of the report include:
U.S. research investment, domestic research student numbers, and the output of research articles and reviews have not grown at the same rate as other parts of the world, resulting in increasing competition.- Most growth in
U.S. research publication output is attributable to international collaboration, which has doubled for major traditional partners such as theUnited Kingdom andGermany and quadrupled with Mainland China. - The physical sciences and technology areas are the subjects where the
U.S. has the greatest degree of international collaboration and the smallest component of purely domestic research output. MainlandChina is theU.S.'s most frequent partner in technology research and is as frequent as theU.K. andGermany in physical sciences. - The
U.S.'s research portfolio remains extensive and diverse, but its research subject diversity has declined due to the science budget expanding much faster in biomedicine than in technology areas. U.S research activity is unevenly spread across the country, but theU.S. has sought to address over-concentration of its innovation and development resources by structured funding directed to areas of relatively weak research capacity.- The
U.S. is strong but no longer dominates the research landscape as it did in the past. This is because other G7 nations are producing papers of the highest citation impact, while moreU.S. papers are now of world average citation impact.
