The 2013 edition of the Nature Publishing Index (NPI) includes 757 institutions based in the Asia-Pacific region, up from 738 last year. Below are the top 200, ranked by corrected count (CC), with last year’s scores shown for comparison alongside the 5-year cumulative totals. International institutions that have labs in the Asia-Pacific region are included; funding agencies are excluded.

These rankings are based on the number1 of papers that were published within the last 12 months from the institutions listed below. These rankings only include papers that were published as research articles (Articles, Letters and Brief Communications) or reviews inNature and/or Nature monthly research journals.

The Nature Publishing Index comprises 18 journals. The flagship journal is Nature, founded in 1869, and there are many subsidiary publications, including one online-only journal, Nature Communications. Nature and Nature Communications are multidisciplinary, whereas most others fall into one of the following four subject categories: life sciences, chemistry, physical sciences and earth and environmental sciences. The exception is Nature Chemical Biology, which falls under the first two categories. Below are the data for 2013 showing the top five institutions for each journal, along with their 2012 rank.

China’s investment in science is bearing fruit. In 2013, it published more articles in NPI journals than any other Asia-Pacific nation. Significantly, in January that year, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) knocked The University of Tokyo off the top of the NPI institutional rankings. China has ambitious projects underway that challenge not only Japanese but European and US institutions.

For China, 2013 was a year of scientific discoveries, technological feats and the construction of cutting-edge facilities. In February a team from China and the US, led by Xiangdong Ji of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) initiated the world’s deepest particle-physics experiment, PandaX, aimed at detecting particles of dark matter in pools of liquid xenon deeper than 2.5 km underground. In June, China sent its fifth crewed spacecraft, Shenzhou 10, to dock with China’s space station, Tiangong 1. It is the first stage of a plan to construct a bigger modular station around 2020, four years before the planned end of the International Space Station programme. Also in June, the Tianhe-2 (or Milky Way-2) supercomputer became the world’s fastest, with an operating speed of 33.9 petaflops per second – nearly twice as fast as the previous leader. China’s high-definition Earth observation satellite, Gaofen 1, started operating in December to survey and monitor environmental processes, particularly to collect data on natural disasters such as earthquakes. Earlier in December, another arm of its space programme made news when China became the third country, after the US and Russia, to explore the moon. The Chang’e-3 lunar probe landed safely and delivered China’s first robot rover, Yutu (or Jade Rabbit), which is equipped with groundpenetrating radar, spectrometers and cameras.

Chinese scientists are also exploring the oceans for knowledge. Under the country’s 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15) a National Deep Sea Center will be set up and its deep-diving submersible, Jiaolong, upgraded. China can now also lay claim to the oldest-known primate skeleton, the earliest collection of fossilised dinosaur embryos — found in their crushed shells — and the earliest-known member of the bird family. These discoveries were published in Nature in 2013 by scientists from

CAS and from other domestic and international institutions. China is allocating an increasing proportion of its GDP to science and technology: 1.98% in 2012; expected to rise to 2.2% by 2015. President Xi Jinping, who took office in March 2013, is continuing his predecessor’s Chinese scientists are also exploring the oceans for knowledge.
 
Wonderful. Nice to see two East Asian nations doing well. This remained to finish of my dissection in Biochemical functions in Neurological structures.
 
Fake data and cheap labor op. :rofl::rofl:

Some people who like to bash China really have no idea how great amounts of money China has invested in human resources or scientific research. Intelligence reserve is the core factor of competitiveness. Next step China should prepared for is to transfer more scientific patent to our own companies, to help promote indigenous growth and creativity.

Cost-effectiveness at its best. Good to know that the people in China don't over-consume, unlike some people in you-know-where who consumed over 30% more than everyone else, wasting the earth resources.
 
Where is the most innovative country called India?
I have heard that they are the most innovative country somewhere.
Oh I see,they are at number 7,under number 6 taiwan.
 
The University of Tokyo is doing a pretty good job, as well.

It is like the current gold standard in Asia now.


Taiwan is not doing bad despite of its tiny population. NTU and Academia Sinica are strong institutions in TW.

Science is a learning process that never ends.

However, as a country, China has a long way to go.

NTU & Academia Sinica ( is Sinica related to sino/China?) are very renewed institutes, very competitive!
