How China topped the Nature Index charts

The latest Nature Index supplement highlights the research achievements of China — live now, including partner articles.

For the first time, China has surpassed the United States to become the leading nation in the Nature Index.

This supplement explores how China topped the Nature Index charts, what China’s decoupling from the United States in scientific collaboration could mean for global research, and where Chinese students are opting to study as favor falls with Western universities.

Partner articles in the supplement bring to life research initiatives, from electric vehicles and smart buildings to Shanghai’s grant-giving scheme. Partner articles are either supplied by the partner or written by our expert custom media team.
