On June 16, the 2022 Natural Index annual list was released. The list shows the high -quality scientific research output of various countries and its scientific research institutions in the field of natural sciences.

The latest list shows that four Chinese institutions rank among the top 10 around the world. Among them, the Chinese Academy of Sciences continues to rank first in the institutional list in the natural index, and its share is more than twice that of the second -ranked Harvard University. According to the "Voice of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" on June 17, according to the previously released natural index data, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ranked first in the world for ten consecutive years.

The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (National University of Science and Technology) first ranked among the top 10 of the institutional list, from 13th to 8th. The University of Science and Technology of China has jumped to 9th place, and Peking University also jumped to two to 10th place.

According to the key indicator of the index, the United States still maintains the first in the national list, but it is the top ten countries in the top ten; China ranks second and is the largest country among the top ten.

According to statistics, the US scientific research output in 2021 decreased by 6.2%compared with the previous year, the largest decline in the country since 2017. China's scientific research output increased by 14.4%in 2021. The top ten countries in high -quality scientific research include Germany, Britain, Japan, France, France, Canada, South Korea, Switzerland and Australia.

The third to seven institutions of the top 10 global institutions are: German Malaz, the French National Scientific Research Center, Stanford University in the United States, the Hamhitz Research Center Federation of Germany, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Some developed countries have fell out of the top 10 in the world, such as Oxford University, Cambridge University and Tokyo University of Japan.

It is reported that this is the first time that this is the first time that the University of Cambridge has missed the top 10 natural index global institutions. The analysis believes that the decline in the British research institution in the natural index may be related to a large number of researchers after Brexit. The University of Tokyo has also slipped to the 14th place, which is also the lowest time since 2015.

Chinese institutions are the only group in the annual list of the Natural Index annual list. Among the 50 fastest institutions listed in the list of 2020-2021, the first 31 institutions with the fastest rise are from China. And among these 50 institutions, only 10 are from China. This has changed significantly compared with the list in 2021. At that time, among the top 10 fastest institutions, China has only two seats.

The founder of the Natural Index David Swinbanks said: "The Nature Index annual list shows that China’ s scientific research investment conducted through its large -scale and current developed institutions is developing in the field of natural sciences. 2.4%of GDP has shown China's commitment to this field. This year, China's investment in capital investment has become more prominent on the growth of scientific research. "

The 2022 Natural Index annual list is based on the natural index data from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. The natural index is a database that includes the author's unit information and institutional relationship. It tracks the scientific research papers published in 82 high -quality natural science periods. These journals are selected by an independent group composed of on -the -job scientists.
