A changing of the guard as China rises

21 March, 2013

PRESS RELEASE FROM NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP

Thursday 21 March 2013

Japan continues to lead the Asia-Pacific in research output. But it could be overtaken by China in the coming years. The top institution in the region in 2012 was The University of Tokyo, but it will almost certainly lose its crown to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2013. Indeed on a rolling 12-month window to mid-March, the CAS has a substantial lead.

These are the lead conclusions of the 2012 Nature Publishing Index (NPI) 2012 Asia-Pacific, published today in Nature. [continue reading…]

Chinese Academy of Sciences on track for top Asia-Pacific rank

21 March, 2013

PRESS RELEASE FROM NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP

Thursday 21 March 2013

Sarah is an excellent communicator. I usually find it difficult to engage in a full day's course, but I did not feel that way at this course.

This is one of the best science communication courses I have ever encountered. It teaches all research to think out of box and really simplify their research in lay man's language. I will highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about science communication.
