2011年6月27日在新加坡先进技术材料国际会议(ICMAT2011)上,英国 汤森路透集团( Thomson-Reuters ) 研究评价所长所长Jonathan Adams 发表了题为 "Evidence-based Insights into the Global Trend and Hot Spots of Research in Materials Science." 他说,材料科学是科学技术增长最快的领域之一,材料科学的论文 数量增长 比其他领域更快。最大的变化是在论文作者地理分布。从 约11,500 顶级期刊的数据分析来看,尤其是亚太地区增长最快。从 2005 到2009年,中国发表了约 53,000 篇材料科学论文,美国 38,000 篇, 日本25,000 , 德国17,000。中国每年在材料领域发表约 14,000 篇论文, 日本 4,000篇。尽管亚洲论文产量最大,但美国论文被引最多。 现在国内召开的材料科学方面的国际会议很多,据我所知,2011年就有不少于10个。在这些会议上发表的大量论文毫无疑问也会使我国论文数虚高,而其质量亟待提高。
