Clarivate Annual G20 Scorecard Report Reveals Insights into World’s Leading Research Economies | November 17, 2022

"...The Annual G20 Scorecard – Research Performance 2022, has been created by the Institute for Scientific Information™ at Clarivate to coincide with this year’s G20 Summit hosted by Bali. It includes both a written summary and an array of graphs and exhibits that highlight the research performance of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mainland China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. Jonathan Adams, Chief Scientist at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate and a co-author of the annual report said: “Our Annual G20 Scorecard provides a consistent benchmark of regional research economies for governments, funders and research institutions. “The yearly assessment of comparative metrics allows us to accurately compare performance and to spot early warning signs of any changes to investment, as the G20 respond to the climate and health challenges of the future.” The research profiles within the report are selective, highlighting chosen topics of current policy interest that identify good signals of the health of the research base for each G20 member. Key factors that contribute to impactful research are laid out for each and benchmarked...." Each country's research profile includes statistics on "Open Access (OA) research publication, where the author or funder pays instead of the reader or a university library paying via journal subscription, is increasing in response to demands from research funders – including governments (see Global Research Report: The Plan S Footprint). The trends and patterns in OA research publication are shown in a graph and a Research Footprint." Data sources on open access (via Web of Science): DOAJ, Unpaywall.
