China's star rises in the information economy
A study has found that 9.4% of articles published by Elsevier in 2004 had at least one author from the Republic of China. The country is currently the world's fastest-growing economy, and information professionals need to recognise the importance of Chinese research literature, says the study.
Scientific Co-Authorship in China: an Examination of Co-authoring Patterns and the Impact on Elsevier by three academics from the Robert Gordon University in Scotland discovered the high rate of co-authorship involving Chinese authors, often in collaboration with academics in Germany, Japan and the US.
"Chinese authors have unique information related to areas such as traditional Chinese medicine and genetics," said Paul Evans, Elsevier VP China Science & Technology, a division of the Anglo-Dutch publishing giant concentrating on the emerging Chinese market.
Evans said researchers, organisations and information professionals should take a close look at the
information and articles coming out of China for new ideas.
