Country H-index Rank for Science Publications
Posted on January 22, 2008 Comments (7)
The SCImago Journal and Country Rank provides journal and country scientific indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus database. As stated in previous posts these types of rankings have limitations but they are also interesting (such as the best research universities 2007). The table shows the top 6 countries by h-index and then some others I chose to list.
| Country | h-index | % of World Population |
% of World GDP | total Cites | % Top 500 Schools |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USA | 793 | 4.6% | 27.4% | 43,436,526 | 33% |
| United Kingdom | 465 | 0.9 | 4.9 | 9,895,817 | 8 |
| Germany | 408 | 1.3 | 6.0 | 8,377,298 | 8 |
