New Report: Thomson Reuters Looks at India's Growing Scientific Output, Up 80% Since 2000

From the Announcement:

A study from Thomson Reuters released today predicts that, based on substantial and recent growth, India's research productivity will be on par with most G8 nations within 7-8 years and could overtake them between 2015-2020.

The study, Global Research Report: India, informs policymakers about the research and collaboration potential of India and its current place in world science. The study is part of a new series of Global Research Reports from Thomson Reuters that will illustrate the changing landscape and dynamics of the global research base around the world.

[Snip]

The study draws on data found in Web of Science, available on the ISI Web of Knowledge platform.

Key findings include:

+ In the last decade, India has seen a substantial growth in its annual output of scientific publications -- from roughly 16,500 in 1998 to nearly 30,000 in 2007, an increase of 80 percent.
+ India's annual growth rate has vaulted in recent years to rival comparable figures from such well-established European and Asian nations as Japan, France, German, and the United Kingdom.
+ India's research portfolio is markedly balanced between the life sciences and physical sciences.
* India has established stable and growing research partnerships with a variety of nations --notably, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
* South Korea has hugely increased its percentage of papers collaboratively with Indian authors in what is generally a doubling in volume of Indian collaborative output with Asian partners, possibly signaling the emergence of a clearer regional research network.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
