Chinamania: Pse Kina nuk mund t’ia kalojë Amerikës si superfuqia shkencore e botës?
Chinamania: Why China can not pass America as the world’s scientific superpower?

Summary/Abstract: A report on the global scientific collaboration in the 21st century, published by the Royal Society in the U.K., in March 2011, concluded that China, which ranked second in the world regarding the number of scientific papers published in academic journals last year, leaving the United Kingdom behind, will very soon, by 2013, surpass the United States, therefore becoming “the world scientific superpower”. By taking a critical stance toward the linear interpretation of data, the methodology on which this report is based, we question the aforsaid conclusion, arguing that, even with regard to its scientific output, China is and will remain for a long time to come much behind the United States.
