Yeah but in China the government invests in science so it’s cheating and also authoritarian. They should only include papers that are the product of public private partnerships.
Whereas in the US, what little scientific research there is definitely isn't publicly funded through grants. But if it was, it would be okay because white people are doing it.
😆
that's interesting, because people in the US and Canada are obsessed with Chinese students spying and stealing data to bring back to China- looks like they don't have to do that huh? Looks like the US and Canada should be spying on Chinese universities instead (they are undoubtedly)
Not to discredit anyone but don't a lot of universities just pump out shitty scientific articles exactly because universities are ranked using this metric?
Once any metric is used to measure success it immediately becomes useless. Or something like that
studies show that China is putting out higher quality research than the US though https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Science/China-tops-U.S.-in-quantity-and-quality-of-scientific-papers
In my experiences with American math, CS, and eng researchers, this is the trend for everybody because the researchers want to bump their numbers up, it's how they can get school positions, they need grants, it increases employability, etc.
