In the list of the most influential researchers, the Clarivate citation ranking, China is playing a greater role from year to year. This is the result of an analysis published this week by the data company Clarivate Analytics. According to the report, 20 percent of the 6,600 scientists currently listed there come from China, compared to eight percent in 2018. Although the USA is still clearly in the lead with 36%, its share is shrinking; in 2018, it was still 43%.
