[Sigmetrics] “European Paradox or Delusion-Are European Science and Economy Outdated?

[Loet Leydesdorff]

Dear Fran,

Thank you for the paper. It is interesting, but raises the following
question.

Given the economic integration within the EU, one can meaningfully speak
about a "European economy." However, a European science or publication
system cannot be inferred. (For example: Is the European Union Becoming a
Single Publication System? <http://www.leydesdorff.net/eupubl/index.htm>
*Scientometrics* 47(2) (2000) 265-280.) Of course, one can study the
European set as if it were a system, but policy implications can then
easily be mistaken.Some nations are doing better than the USA, but in
specific domains. (As you indicate for China.)

Do I misread?

Best,
Loet
