Brazilian Science on the Rise

摘要

Over the last two decades, Brazil has been moving consistently upward in the output and impact of its scientific publications. This rise is in keeping with the country's status as one of the so-called BRIC nations (Brazil, of course, being the "B" in the acronym, along with Russia, India, and China), a group whose resources and economic potential, in the eyes of many observers, will likely give the quartet a significant share of the world's economic growth in the decades to come.
