CHINA RANKS SECOND IN  <http://www.leydesdorff.net/issi13/issi13.pdf>
SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS SINCE 2006

Abstract: With the fast development of its economy, China plays an
increasingly important role in the world. China's performance in science is
also impressive. The exponential growth of Chinese scientific publications
provides evidence. However, statistical results about China's world share of
scientific publications provided by different institutions and researchers
have been in disagreement. With the data for 2007 being now available, we
provide an update on this issue and conclude that China has become the
second largest producer of scientific publications since 2006.
