Ouch fell behind South Korea yet again.The Japanese study about the most highly cited papers (top 1%) that was discussed earlier... here's the rankings.
We make fun of India a lot, but they are indeed rising. I'm surprised to see Spain above Japan.
Spain did very poorly on AI paper representation, so I would assume a lot of these papers are in fields like biology etc.
Italy as usual outperforming expectations.

I think Japanese can eventually accept being far behind China, but it will definitely raise their collective blood pressure being behind South Korea.
