We badly need brave leaders to progress. That is our only handicap.

Well Ahmadinejad is no mullah despite him being religious. We can live with that. I wish we could have for a change some one like him educated with a PhD in engineering. You know that our leaders only have a simple BA at most and that also they took by sefaresh of their big families by...

Jealousy is a grave sin. It burns the faith. They will know the value of science and technology when oil runs out, which is not that far away and will happen in our lifetimes.

You are welcome. The guy is a troll.

I hope in the next election some one like Ahmadinejad takes over Pakistan. The guy has been a Godsend for Iran really. I remember that in 2004, I did not care much about Iran at all. This guy has single handedly put Iran on the world's map. During his time, Iran's achievements and progress as...

Hahahah. You are funny. Do not even compare yourself with Indians either. You are not in the league. And you know it. Iranians have enough quality to go to space. You are still in the desert. Even in your meager and minuscule universities and research centers almost all the researchers and...

That is indeed a very good phenomenon. I hope we will rise again. West has ruled the world long enough. It is now our turn.

It is ok dude. You know quickly things descend to a low level with all the trolls around even in this scientific thread. The site you have quoted is their JR site (journal ranking) and the table is from their Lab site. They are the same Scopus but there are different divisions inside it...

Yeah, instead of appreciation, they just try to muddy the mood. That is all they can do.

No, you are more than welcome to discuss it here. After all we are all in the same boat and planet. But please do not bring secularism, religion and sect that would inflame the thread. Just remain impartial and receptive like a scientist. It would make the discussion more productive and accurate...

Now you are talking baby. Now you are talking. I hope we can successfully commercialize the science we are producing and earn money and royalty on it. China is certainly leading the way in that regard. The key is industrialization to convert the science to marketable products.

That is so true. Look at Chinese. Let's stick to the topic here.

Lol. They have been bringing private companies to run their space program. And guess what, those private companies get their loans from Chinese banks. It is a weird world. So you think Hindu supermacist BJP can do any better? Get a life.

That is so promising. Just do not forget us too. We like to be up there too. Can you imagine our astronauts in the same station with yours, ours and Iranian flag on their arms working together. It will make Americans go crazy with madness. Well, it seems that is what the future is going to...

It is really good though. I have to congratulate our Iranian brothers and sisters here. I have only once advice for them. Keep your growth rate at least for the next 6 years till 2018. Keep the engines running at full throttle.

Well, that might be the case but certainly the sanctions have helped since it has pushed them to work even harder. 35 years ago when they were the darling of the west, their scientific output was 0.0003% of the world's output with no growth whatsoever. Now they are growing like crazy having the...

The question has never been the potential which we know it is there for sure. But the leadership who knows how to manage this potential and make it bear fruit.

Here is the table: Hopefully the next government will put more into education, health care and R&D funding. We really can not fool around any more. It is the time to play some catch up game and hopefully exceed our potentials.

Yeah, that is so true. Allama Iqbal would have been pleased to know this. Though he would not have been pleased with us one bit. Well it is published by them projecting the current growth into the future. It is not a clairvoyance crystal ball but it is "indicative" of what is to come in...

As per SCImago ranking for future science production Iran might become the world's fourth largest science producer in 2018 and ranking just behind China, US and UK. Here is the link to complete ranking for top 50 countries in 2018...
