THE DECLINE OF CANADIAN SCIENCE OR THE ADVENT OF INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE?

The newsletter RE$EARCH MONEY recently published a comment from Éric Archambault (Science-Metrix) and Yves Gingras (OST-CIRST) about the decline of the Canadian science.

The article presents bibliometric data on the scientific output of emerging countries such as Italy, China, Republic of Korea and Spain. China has already overtook Canada in terms of natural sciences and engineering papers in 2003. Our projections, based on an exponential fit for the last 7 years, also indicate that Italy will probably overtake Canada in 2004-2005. As for Spain it will probably overtake Canada in about ten years, if the trends remain the same.The rise of China and the sustained growth of Italian scientific output is bound to push Canada outside the G7 to 8th rank starting in 2004 or 2005. According to our prediction on the output of the Republic of Korea, Canada will probably occupy 9th rank before 2010, the targeted date of the Innovation Strategy which aims to bring Canada among the top five countries in the world in terms of R&D performance.
