Need to review the Nobel Prize?

The UK still ranks second, behind the US, in terms of the number and effectiveness of scientific research projects published in leading scientific journals in the world.

However, in recent years, not many scientific studies of the UK have been awarded the Nobel Prize. That is the result of a study of the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills - England.

At this time every year, scientists often turn to Sweden's Karolinska Institute, to see if their researches receive a Nobel Prize - a noble award for the best in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace.

In the last century, Britain had a lot of Nobel Prize-winning scientific research . But these award-winning British scientific works are not as much as 30 or 40 years ago. This award is often regarded as a benchmark for evaluating and comparing the development of science among countries around the world. But does this measure reflect correctly?

The Nobel Prize is often given to scientific works that have been carried out decades ago and another problem is that although Nobel Prize-winning scientific studies are excellent, the quality of research This rescue is not considered. Therefore, there should be a more comprehensive method to assess the number of research works by British scientists, recognized by their peers around the world.

For example, a study recently conducted by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills - UK, shows an impressive result of British science.

According to the results of the study, the UK ranked second, after the US, in terms of the number and effectiveness of published scientific studies . If compared between the countries of the G8 group, the UK ranked first in the number of scientific research awards applied in the community.

The study also analyzed 8,000 leading scientific journals in the world and found that up to 12% of scientific papers published in those journals were from scientists from the United Kingdom, this ratio just behind the US. Meanwhile, the proportion of the country's scientific research, published in scientific newspapers around the world, also increased by 1%, from 13.4% to 14.4%. The influence of scientific research is even ranked above the United States and ranks second only to the leading country, Germany.
