Other key findings of the report include:
China exceededU.S. published research output in plant and animal sciences, agricultural sciences and pharmacology and is on a pathway to challenge theU.S. in biochemistry and molecular biology.- The shift in research quality is shown by the rising number of Highly Cited Researchers™** – individuals who have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their field or fields of research. The number of Highly Cited Researchers in
China doubled to 1,169 between 2018 and 2022, only second to theU.S.'s 2,764 Highly Cited Researchers. Many ofChina's Highly Cited Researchers are based at globally renowned institutions such as theChinese Academy of Sciences andTsinghua University and their highly cited contributions are strongly represented in chemistry, engineering and material sciences disciplines. China has an exceptional share of the world's research publications in technology areas, exceeding 40% of all articles and reviews published in areas such as automation control, telecommunications and nanotechnology between 2017 and 2021.China's Research Fronts™, which reveal the hot topics and likely direction of future research, are driven by 'core papers' focused on chemistry and engineering related fields. However, for co-citing papers,China has markedly more activity in clinical and life sciences fields, one of theU.S.'s strengths, and so could rival theU.S in future.- The
U.S. remainsChina's most important international research partner, co-authoring over 40% ofChina's collaborative output over the last decade. As many as one-third ofU.S. papers in telecommunications and over one-quarter in a spread of other areas feature a co-author affiliated with Chinese institutions. China is expanding its collaboration network and has emerged as a leading research partner for smaller nations across theMiddle East , particularly in emerging green energy technologies, andAsia .China is the dominant research partner forPakistan andSingapore .

*In this report, the regional term
**Highly Cited Researchers are global scientists and social scientists who have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their field or fields of research, contributing disproportionately to extending the frontiers of knowledge. Every year since 2014, Clarivate has issued a highly anticipated and much-celebrated list of Highly Cited Researchers. The 2023 list will be announced in November.
