Chinese Universities soar in scientific research while the US falls behind.

This post is why white maga men feel left behind and possibly becoming an incel.

Not a "maga man" and FU.

Non-STEM, which is most of them, college degrees are ******* worthless in the real world

Where are you going to get a job to pay back the 6-figure debt you accumulated for your art history degree, professor?

Until recently, Harvard was the most productive research university in the world, according to a global ranking that looks at academic publication.

That position may be teetering, the most recent evidence of a troubling trend for American academia....



Look back to the early 2000s, and a global university ranking based on scientific output, such as published journal articles, would be very different. Seven American schools would be among the top 10, led by Harvard University at No. 1.

Only one Chinese school, Zhejiang University, would even make the top 25.

Today, Zhejiang is ranked first on that list, the Leiden Rankings, from the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Seven other Chinese schools are in the top 10.

According to Mark Neijssel, director of services for the Centre for Science and Technology Studies, the Leiden rankings take into account papers and citations contained in the Web of Science, a database set of academic publications which is owned by Clarivate, a data and analytics company. Thousands of academic journals are represented in the databases, many of which are highly specialized, he said.

Global university rankings generally have not attracted much popular attention in the United States. Even so, some experienced academics are seeing the growth in research production from China that the rankings reflect, and are warning that America is falling behind.

​

Rafael Reif, a former president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said on a podcast last year that “the number of papers and the quality of the papers coming from China are outstanding” and are “dwarfing what we’re doing in the U.S.”

According to the Leiden Rankings here are the top 25 universities in the world in scientific research:

Meanwhile here in the US, the morons is in the Trump Administration have been cutting funding to universities and waging a war on higher education.

We are watching in real time the decline of the US. We need to get our act together now!

**** you, liberalism has been in our education system for over 30 years. You loons have produced kids that think they can change their gender, and got another loon shot in the head. Because she thought she could get away with using her vehicle as a weapon. **** you! It's about time to start teaching our kids common sense again, get rid of liberalism.

Do you even know what critical thinking skills are fuckup.

Yes, see it daily when Democrats protest the arrest and deportation of illegal alien criminals.

Hand $23 to a Wallyworld cashier for something that cost $18 and watch the smoke blow out their ears.

Well Harvard could always dip into their 57 BILLION endowment fund.

Harvard has gone to shit. Over 60% of undergraduate grades now being A's, compared to just 25% two decades ago.

Rather than an education, they get participation trophies.

Sure. Those of us with amazing educations and great jobs are the dummies and those of you who failed in school and are scraping by are the smart ones. Sure. Keep voting for my top tier income tax deduction genius. You really showed me by cutting my taxes by $30,000+ this year.

Wife and I paid more than $80K in taxes last year. Yeah, I need a cut.

Heck my first job was at a local grocery store in 1985. They still had to punch in the price on each item. Think if they had to do that? Lol

Tell us all you never went to college without saying it.

I paid $340K in taxes. Wife doesn’t work. If Biden were elected I’d have paid $370k+. My life is unaffected by either tax bill.
