#China #Research #FundamentalResearch #AcademicSky @rorinstitute.bsky.social The fragmented picture of global research system makes it challenging to understand the whole picture. Differences in definitions, data, dissemination norms etc.

@rorinstitute.bsky.social The China distribution with ECRs <-> senior researchers show a younger academic research profile of active scientists. Investment in #ECRs is notable #EarlyCareerResearchers

@rorinstitute.bsky.social China prominent in materials science, engineering, US in biomedical and EU in physics/astronomy. Looking at pubs/cites tells a specific story about impact

@rorinstitute.bsky.social Expenditure story is important -- .17% of China GDP, .50% of US GDP --> countries do not report research expenditure in ways that are easy to compare

@rorinstitute.bsky.social AI assisted #semantic analysis -- this is the next phase of understanding impact/reach to explore novelty, disruptiveness, and breakthru characteristics as complementary dimensions to traditional metrics

#China #Research #FundamentalResearch #AcademicSky @rorinstitute.bsky.social #LinZhang - What do we mean by Fundamental Research? 1. systematic research on fundamental ?? from strategic Chinese perspective 2. frontier research driven by original exploration and then 3. applied

@rorinstitute.bsky.social - Growth in contribution has been huge - China and India. This is a story of a more diverse and distributed global knowledge system (not about one country surpassing another)

Open invitation to build an #open and collaborative evidence base for Global #FUndamentalResearch #LinZhang - the report is a useful starting point for a wider international effort tp understand scientific progress and international research systems. #China #CFRR #GlobalCollaboration #Science

5 critical ? resulting:
1. how do we better capture quality/originality
2. how do we improve international comparability
3. how do funders/institutions and talent dev shape long-term scientific progress?
4. How are global knowledge flows changing?
5. see slide

Great to be @ria.ie for the fundamental biomedical research symposium. Lots of honest discussion on challenges and opportunities in #FundamentalResearch in Ireland. Increased and regular funding, sustainable core infrastructure, enhanced engagement with industry and diversity of careerpaths are key.

Profs or researchers who may be considering a move out of the US send me a message. #Canada has a long history of #fundamentalresearch and support for education. Multiple schools and organizations are working on making opportunities.
