China was ranked fifth in the world in terms of the number of its journals cited by the SCI in 2004 and 2005, up from 15th place in 1991, MOST statistics showed.
"The number of our theses and journals cited by the SCI is an important indicator of the success of our research progress in basic science fields," said Zhang Xianen, the director of MOST's scientific research department. |
He He...look I am not trying to put down Chinese research..many of my colleagues are Chinese..but that is funny.
No. of citation/article published - China Ranks 124 in the world! I am just trying to point out - Statistics doesn't mean anything...

In the number of academic papers published, the U.S. ranks first and China tenth, according to ISI Essential Science Indicators, but China admits it ranks 124th in the world when it comes to the number of citations per paper--a measure of how influential the research is to others (Beijing's goal: to be in the top five in citations). China's most celebrated computer scientist faked the invention of a computer chip, and a Ministry of Science survey showed 60% of Chinese Ph.D. candidates admitted they plagiarized; the same percentage said they had paid bribes in return for being published
