TEHRAN – The ratio of nano-articles to the whole variety of articles revealed in Iran is the very best on the planet, highlighting the quantity of consideration and precedence given to nano-sciences within the nation.
In line with StatNano, in 2021, almost 202,000 nano-articles had been issued in JCR- (Journal Quotation Stories) listed journals, accounting for about 8.2 p.c of the whole articles listed in WoS (Internet of Science). Alternatively acknowledged, about 8 p.c of all scientific publications throughout the globe are within the area of nanotechnology.
By way of the ratio of nano-articles to the whole variety of articles, Iran nonetheless possesses the very best share on this index with 18.7 p.c of the whole articles falling within the class of nanotechnology.
The nation revealed a complete of 11,196 nano-articles in 2021, in accordance with the database.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and China adopted Iran with 17.4 p.c, 16 p.c, and 14.1 p.c shares of nano-articles to the whole variety of articles, respectively.
The variety of scientific articles is deemed a major parameter for measuring and evaluating the scientific improvement of people, universities, and international locations and signifies their scientific effectivity.
Greater than 42 p.c of the world’s nanotechnology publications by 2021 have been written and revealed by Chinese language researchers. The US, India, and Iran come subsequent with 11.5 p.c, 9.4 p.c, and 5.5 p.c, respectively.
China tops the listing with greater than 85,700 nano-articles, with round 14 p.c of all of the Chinese language scientific articles falling into this class. Following China, the USA is in second place, having revealed about 23,200 articles (11.5 p.c), whereas India and Iran could be within the subsequent locations with 9.4 p.c and 5.5 p.c, respectively.
Iran ranked forty third among the many 100 most vibrant clusters of science and expertise (S&T) worldwide for the third consecutive 12 months, in accordance with the World Innovation Index (GII) 2020 report.
The nation skilled a three-level enchancment in comparison with 2019.
Sourena Sattari, vp for science and expertise, has stated that Iran is taking part in the main function within the area within the fields of fintech, ICT, stem cell, aerospace, and is unequalled in synthetic intelligence.
Iran has created facilities in six Asian international locations for exporting nanotechnology merchandise, together with China, India, Indonesia, Syria, Turkey, and Iraq.
Nanotechnology’s development of improvement is rising in Iran, because the variety of nanoproducts and gear developed within the earlier Iranian calendar 12 months (ended March 20, 2021) elevated to 750, in contrast with 647 a 12 months earlier than.
Some 223 product manufacturing firms and 59 gear manufacturing firms are lively within the area of nanotechnology and by the top of final 12 months, which developed a complete of 750 merchandise and gear.
As of the beginning of a nationwide plan to develop the nanotechnology sector 15 years in the past, greater than 5,283 billion rials (about $19 million) have been allotted to nanotechnology tasks.
Iran’s nanotechnology merchandise are typically categorized into three teams of products, providers, and gear, and the service sector has grown by almost 130 p.c over the previous 12 months (March 2020-March 2021).
Stories present that the biggest share of the Iranian nano market, equal to 96 p.c, belongs to items. The service sector has grown by about 130 p.c final 12 months, from 443 billion rials (almost $1.6 million) to 1 trillion rials.
Scientific progress
Research present that Iran enters the 12 months 2022 with the fifteenth rank in science manufacturing worldwide and it’s anticipated to make progress over the following years because the coronavirus pandemic goes to ease.
In line with the most recent info on science manufacturing, Iran is ranked fifteenth on the planet within the worldwide system of Internet of Science in 2021, with an h-index of 383, which signifies the standard of Iranian articles registered.
Iran’s scientific place within the Internet of Science during the last 5 years reveals that the manufacturing of convention papers has been on a downward development throughout 2020 and 2021 as a result of outbreak.
The share of Iranian science manufacturing from convention papers has dropped from 7.38 p.c in 2017 to 1.26 p.c in 2021.
Scientific research and analyses extracted from the Scopus Worldwide Quotation Database confirmed that the speed of scientific contributions of Iranian researchers to the world elevated from 22.24 p.c in 2017 to 35.6 p.c in 2021.
Furthermore, the SCImago rating system offers individually with the rating of nations in science manufacturing, rating Iran as fortieth in 2021 by way of h-index. Additionally, by way of the variety of articles, Iran’s index is 376.
The SCImago rankings present that between 1996 and 2020, the USA, China, the UK, Germany, and Japan are within the high 5. Iran additionally ranked twenty first on the planet and second in West Asia.
NATURE INDEX additionally reveals that in 2021, contemplating that the most recent replace of this worldwide system for science manufacturing reviews has not been accomplished but, Iran’s total rating is thirty fifth, which was 33 in 2020.
