Dynamic, interactive data visualizations reveal comprehensive
view of the global research and innovation landscape
LONDON, July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT),
a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today
released its annual G20 scorecard, compiled by expert analysts and
data scientists at the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)™.
The annual G20 research and innovation scorecard examines the
research and innovation capabilities of each G20 member through
dynamic, interactive data visualizations. This year, for the first
time, the report includes data for the European Union and the G20's
new permanent member, the African Union.
The scorecard is designed for the responsible evaluation of the
research and innovation capabilities of the G20 members, including
new data points that illuminate collaborative impact and
demonstrate the effect of research and innovation on society in the
form of patent to paper citations. It also contains expanded
analyses of data on the research focused on the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), examining the collaborative and
accessible nature of this research. It publishes ahead of the G20
summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
on November 18-19 and is freely
available to explore on Clarivate.com.
Emmanuel Thiveaud, Senior Vice President for Research &
Analytics, Academia & Government at Clarivate said: "We promote
responsible research assessment by considering comprehensive
profiles and indicators that capture the broad contributions
research makes to society in terms of quality and impact."
"The G20 scorecard provides a holistic view of the global
research and innovation landscape, highlighting strengths and areas
needing improvement within each country and region profiled. For
policymakers, governments, funders and research institutions
worldwide, it offers reliable evidence to inform critical decisions
about research planning and strategic investments."
Gordon Rogers, Senior Manager,
Data Science at the Institute for Scientific Information at
Clarivate, said: "The inclusion of the European and the African
Union in the 2024 scorecard for the first time marks a pivotal
expansion in our analysis to reflect a more comprehensive and
inclusive view of global research dynamics. This broader
perspective allows for a deeper understanding of the diverse and
collaborative efforts needed to address global challenges and
advance sustainable development goals."
Key findings in the 2024 G20 scorecard include:
- The African Union (AU) shows a high collaboration rate,
collaborations with Mainland China yield higher citation impact
than those with the U.S., their leading partner. The AU's SDG
priorities are No Poverty (SDG 1) and Gender Equality (SDG 5).
- The European Union is the largest contributor of papers
than any other G20 member. 40% of collaboration is with external
partners compared to 10% within the EU. It publishes more open
access papers than the G20 average.
- Germany has a high number of researchers per
capita. It exhibits above world average Category Normalized
Citation Impact™ (CNCI) for collaborative papers and its
Normalized Patent Citation Impact* is around twice the world
average in Medicine. More than 60% of papers produced in 2023 were
open access.
- India has seen
international collaboration increase to just over one-third (35.6%)
over the decade (2014 to 2023), the U.S. is its leading
collaborator. Its SDG focus on Economic Growth (SDG 8) and
Industry (SDG 9) are the most impactful.
- Mainland China's international collaborations are
mostly bilateral (around three quarters). Its most frequent partner
remains the U.S., although the percentage has halved over the
decade (2014 – 2023) from 12% to 6%. Its Normalized Patent Citation
Impact is above world average.
- South Korea's
collaborations with the U.S. have fallen, while those with Mainland
China and India are rising. It
also shows high Normalized Patent Citation Impact in Good Health
(SDG 3) and Sustainable Cities (SDG 11), at around 1.6 and 1.4
times the world average respectively.
- United Kingdom's
research output has a high citation impact with CNCI at 1.4 times
world average; Collaboration rose from below 60% in 2015 to over
70% since 2022, with leading partners in the U.S., Germany and increasingly, Mainland China. Its
Normalized Patent Citation Impact is strong in Engineering and
Technology, Medicine and Life Sciences.
- United States exhibits
high Normalized Patent Citation Impact in Engineering and
Technology, Life Sciences and Medicine. On the UN SDGs, there is a
strong focus on Peace & Justice (SDG 16) and Reduced
Inequalities (SDG 10) in terms of paper output and a strong focus
on Good Health (SDG 3) and Clean Energy (SDG 7) in terms of
citation impact from patents.
