Reading the Nature Asia-Pacific Publishing Index

摘要

The last several decades have seen remarkable economic expansion and social development in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. One welcome consequence of this is substantially increased investment in the education and training of their populations, and in the development of scientific infrastructure and capabilities. This investment appears to be paying off handsomely as Asia-Pacific scientists and institutions gain growing international recognition. Some of the effect of this can be seen in the Nature Asia-Pacific Publishing Index, which provides a unique and fascinating insight into how successful they have been in getting their scientific output published in some of the leading research publications in the world - the Nature family of journals.
