Elsevier https://www.elsevier.com/en-gb, a global leader in
evidence-based clinical practice content, research publishing, and
information analytics, just published the newest report analyzing global
research trends with a focus on collaborations between the largest
economies in the world. *Fostering collaboration: a study of scientific
publications with authors in G20 countries*

studied data from Elsevier’s industry leading SCOPUS database and uncovered
that researchers in G20 nations co-authored 75% of total scientific
publications worldwide from 2012-2021.
The report, which was spotlighted at a seminar jointly organized by India’s
Ministry of Education in partnership with Elsevier, analyses scientific
production of the 19 G20 members, all of which have rigorous research and
development programs. Elsevier examined 24,746,950 scientific publications
from researchers at nearly 20,000 institutions. The data introduced some
striking trends in global research.
Global South Research Growth
Of most note, for the first time India has taken over the United Kingdom as
the third largest producer of research globally, behind China and the U.S.
In fact, while the report shows all G20 countries saw enormous growth in
their scientific capacity over the last 30 years, it revealed those
belonging to the Global South saw the most growth. In the period 1999 to
2022, the number of scientific publications with authors in India grew
11.2% per year. For China the rate was 14.7%, for Saudi Arabia 16%, and for
Indonesia 20.1% per year. Looking at the last decade, Indonesia’s research
output grew 26% per year, Saudia Arabia was at 17%, and South Africa grew
7.8% annually compared to the world average growth rate of 3.6%. Data
further reveals that China and India showed a growth rate of 9.3% and 9.7%
respectively, substantially higher than that of the U.S at 0.5%.
