Up 2 places!

On December 27, the China Institute of Science and Technology Information (hereinafter referred to as CITIC) released the "Statistical Report on China's Scientific Papers in 2021" in Beijing
.

The report shows that the overall output of China's outstanding scientific and technological papers continues to grow, and the number of top international journal papers ranks second in the world, up 2 places; the number of highly cited papers and hot papers continues to rank second in the world

It is worth noting that the relevant indicators of international papers in the statistical report are eye-catching
.

For example, according to the number of citations of international papers, China ranks first in the world in four fields including materials science, chemistry, computer science, and engineering technology.

From 2011 to 2021, the proportion of papers produced by 10 disciplines in China exceeded 20% of the world's papers on that discipline
.

The number of citations of papers in the four fields of materials, chemistry, computer science and engineering technology ranks first in the world, and the number of citations of papers in 10 fields, including agricultural science, biology and biochemistry, and environment and ecology, ranks second in the world

Not only that, the number of papers in top international journals in China has risen to the second place in the world
.

In 2020, there are 15 international journals with more than 100,000 citations and an impact factor of more than 30, and a total of 25,500 papers have been published.

The number of highly cited papers and hot papers that have received much attention continues to rank second in the world
.

As of September 2021, China has 42,900 highly cited papers, accounting for 24.

According to reports, in order to guide science and technology management departments and researchers from focusing on the number of papers to focusing on the quality and impact of papers, and to encourage original innovation, CITIC is actively exploring and developing excellent paper evaluation research, focusing on the contribution and impact of high-quality scientific research results
.

In 2020, China's outstanding scientific and technological papers totaled 463,800, an increase of 19.

In 2020, China’s outstanding scientific and technological papers totaled 463,800, an increase of 19.

At the same time, in 2020, among the papers published by Chinese authors, there are 485 papers with more than 100 authors and more than 50 cooperative institutions, covering topics: particle and field physics, astronomy and astrophysics, and multidisciplinary physics research, nuclear physics research
.

The report also pointed out that the number of Chinese sci-tech journals that have entered the forefront of this discipline in the world has increased, and the international visibility has been further enhanced
.

In 2020, the SCI database (Science Citation Index) included 225 Chinese sci-tech journals, an increase of 17 from 2019; the Ei (Engineering Index) database included 229 Chinese sci-tech journals; Medline (Medical Index) included 136 Chinese sci-tech journals

In 2020, there are 18 Chinese journals that have been cited in the top quarter (Q1 area) in the subject field in terms of total citation frequency, 2 more than 2019; 85 journals with impact factors in Q1, 16 more than 2019 Kind
.

Data from the 2021 "Chinese Science and Technology Journal Citation Report" pointed out that the average impact factor of China's core science and technology journals is 0.
869, and the average annual growth rate since 2001 is 6.
5%; the average number of citations of journals is 1523, since 2001 The average annual growth rate is 9.
4%, and the level of academic influence of sci-tech journals has been significantly improved
.

It is worth mentioning that the international influence of the “Top Runner 5000-Top Academic Paper Platform for Chinese Fine Science and Technology Journals (F5000)” built by CITIC Research Institute has further expanded.
It has received 6,948,900 searches, attracting more than 140 people from the United States, Russia, Canada, etc.
Access by international users from three countries
