The Globalization of Science

Summary/Abstract: National science systems have become embedded in global science and countries do everything they can to harness global knowledge to national economic needs. However, accessing and using the riches of global knowledge can occur only through scientists. Consequently, the research power of nations relies on the research power of individual scientists and their capacity to collaborate internationally. The constantly evolving, bottom-up, autonomous, self-regulating nature of global science requires deeper understanding. In empirical terms, we describe the globalization of science using selected publication, collaboration, and citation data from 2000–2020. The globalization of science implies two different processes in two different system types: the growth of science in the Western world is almost entirely attributable to internationally co-authored publications, its growth in the developing world, in contrast, is driven by both internationally co-authored and domestic publications.
