Recently, Jay Nadler, CEO of Corey Wei'an, visited Beijing. In an interview with China News Service, many countries including China used the papers published in SCI journals for scientific research performance analysis. .
Jay Nadler said that over the past decade, the global focus of innovation has slowly shifted from Western countries to Eastern countries. China, South Korea, and Japan are developing very fast, especially China.
How to assess a country's ability to innovate? Jay Nadler believes that, on the one hand, basic research, which can be quantitatively evaluated through papers; on the other hand, applied research, quantitative evaluation in this area can use patent data.
According to the analysis of the data by Kerui Wei'an, from 1980 to 2017, Chinese researchers published more than 2.6 million papers, and the number of papers steadily climbed. In 2008, China surpassed the UK and ranked second in the world. Second to the United States.
'Although the output of the paper is still different from that of the United States, the speed of development is the fastest in the world, which is the source of innovation that constitutes basic research,' said Jay Nadler. In 2017, Chinese scientific papers were cited more times than Britain and Germany. Ranked second in the world, which represents the quality and influence of the paper.
The patent represents the possibility that a technology will eventually be commercialized into a product. Kerui's Derwent World Patent Index database shows that the number of patent applications in China in 2017 ranked first in the world, and local patent applications accounted for invention patents. 89.2% of the application.
In recent years, artificial intelligence has emerged, and China has reached the forefront of the world in some fields. According to statistics from Kerui Wei'an, from 2007 to 2016, the number of papers published in the field of artificial intelligence is mostly in the United States and China, but the influence of Chinese papers is There is a gap in the United States. 'China is inferior to the United States in high-impact papers, but the number of hot papers is similar to that of the United States, indicating that China may become one of the core strengths of artificial intelligence research,' said Jay Nadler.
Corey Wei'an's research also shows that China has formed a large number of core patents in key areas of emerging industry development and key industries in traditional industries. China holds a large number of patent portfolios in data processing systems and alkaloids/plant extracts. Absolute advantage; Internet and information transmission, software products and mobile phone / smart phone technology, China has an innovative combination with the United States.
However, China still needs to strengthen its innovation capabilities in many fields. Research on robot technology documents by Kerui Wei'an shows that the top 1% of papers cited by the world during the analysis period are 531 in the US and 53 in China, Germany, Japan. , France, Italy, Britain are all over China.
Jay Nadler said that innovation involves three elements, one is capital, the other is talent, and the third is information and intelligence. At present, China has a market, and funds and talents are also strengthening. In terms of information and intelligence, Kerui Wei’an has The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other Chinese institutions have developed good cooperation and provided data support for scientific research and performance analysis of Chinese scientific research institutions.
