[InaCombS] "Highly influential" scientists still rare in the developing world

Dear all,

"Highly influential" scientists still rare in the developing world"

The latest list of the world's most highly cited researchers features few scientists based in developing countries —

and none from Africa outside South Africa — exposing the North–South divide and raising questions on

how the impact of science is measured.

Thomson Reuters has issued its The World's Most Influential Scientific Minds: 2014 report based on

analysis of recent citations of published papers across science.

But only 86 out of the approximately 3,200 scientists on the list are affiliated with institutions in the

developing world. And they are based in only 12 countries, with most in Saudi Arabia, Iran,

India and Turkey, whose combined count is 63.

David Pendlebury, a citations specialist who produces the list and report for Thomson Reuters, says that,

clearly, there is a "strong correlation between GDP and citation measures. Pursuing scientific research

to a global standard requires significant investment."

Access to opportunities is also a factor, according to Louise Bloom, research officer at

the Humanitarian Innovation Project, University of Oxford.

"Unfortunately there are a lot of inequalities that developing countries face," she says.

" Not many people have had as many opportunities in accessing education but they still have the skills,

desire and demand for more scientific development."

She says that influential scientific minds from developing countries "do exist but they're probably

not recognised as much as they should be globally".

Bersyukur....ada 3 orang Indonesia yang berada dalam list tersebut. Ketiganya dari Indonesian Centre for

Archaeology, Jl. Raya Condet Pejaten No. 4, Jakarta 12510, Indonesia.

Bravo to them!!
