A graph of home bias in citations that shows China far in the lead. China’s emergence as the world’s leading producer of scientific publications has raised concerns about the West’s technological edge and the quality of China’s output. This column investigates the publishing phenomenon of ‘home bias’ – whereby researchers disproportionately cite papers from their own country – and finds that China exhibits the largest home bias across all major countries and in nearly every scientific field. After adjusting citation counts for home bias, the authors place China fourth globally – behind the US, the UK, and Germany – tempering the perception of China’s scientific dominance.

Is #China really as dominant in scientific #research as it might appear? Shumin Qiu, Claudia Steinwender, & Pierre Azoulay find that after adjusting citation counts for home bias, China is in fourth place globally - behind the US, UK, and Germany.
